Hi,
This is about File I/O Operation.
I want to delete a record from a file, let say FileA. Any one has any good
and efficient example/approach?
void DeleteRecord(in t LineNum)
{
// open FileA
// open tmpFile
// copy all the contents in FileA except on LineNum to tmpFile
// re-copy tmpFile to FileA
}

Hmmm... I'm quite sure this was a newsgroup on 'C' just a minute ago. So
unless you got a C-related problem with your implementation, the post is
off-topic.
<OT>
Google "Indexed Sequential Access Method" (ISAM).

void DeleteRecord(in t LineNum)
{
// open FileA
// open tmpFile
// copy all the contents in FileA except on LineNum to tmpFile
// re-copy tmpFile to FileA
}
That would give you rather a lot of overhead when deleting a number of
lines/records.

It isn't unreasonable to consider this from a C perspecive i.e. given the
file handling tools that C provides.

That's one alternative. It does depend on the file in question being ISAM
compatible, and you having an ISAM library available void DeleteRecord(in t LineNum)
{
// open FileA
// open tmpFile
// copy all the contents in FileA except on LineNum to tmpFile //
re-copy tmpFile to FileA
This is a possible approach, and reasonable for small files. I'd just
observe here that standard C defines a rename() function which could be
used for the last step.
}
}
That would give you rather a lot of overhead when deleting a number of
lines/records.
You can still delete a number of lines/records in one pass, just avoid
copying all of the lines in question.

It also presents a not-too-difficult mechanism to "save up" deletions and
handle them in one go. This dramatically improving response times. void DeleteRecord(in t LineNum)
{
// open FileA
// open tmpFile
// copy all the contents in FileA except on LineNum to tmpFile //
re-copy tmpFile to FileA

Yes. But that is not in the algorithm as presented.
Not too difficult to implement, though. Downside is, you have to have a
"list" of records to delete. If the program is driven by a UI, this will
most likely not be the case and response times will be dramatic.
Anyway. I think the OP would be alot better off using a
(commercial/opensource/whatever) standard solution than trying to reinvent
the wheel. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello.
I am trying to read a small text file using the readline statement. I
can only read the first 2 records from the file. It stops at the blank
lines or at lines with only spaces. I have a while statement checking
for an empty string "" which I understand represents an EOF in Python.
The text file has some blank lines with spaces and other with blanks.
Thanks a lot.

I have a binary file, and I need to delete a specific number of characters

The file contains records, each record has a specific length.
So the way I wanna handle deleting is that I will overwrite the record I

Suppose each record is of length 43, then I have...

I am considering writing a Class that Selects, Adds, Updates and Deletes
Nodes in an XML File but do not what to reinvent the wheel. (See XML file

That data format would emulate records in a Database Table with a Primary
Key for each Record (see xml sample below) and a flat file structure. I
would use a class to manipulate this type of data structure extensivly if I
had one.
Does anyone know of such an animal?

Hi to all,
I am displaying a list of records in a subform which is embedded in a
popup main form (in order to ensure that users close the form when
leaving it).
It seems to be impossible to delete a record in this subform.
When I switched modal off and tried to delete a record from the list,
I deleted a record on another form (below the popup form).

I am trying to deploy my first asp.net app to our webserver (2K server,
IIS 5)
My start page comes up and you can get to the subsequent pages that are
tied into our sql server (2K). Each page has a datagrid that loads up
just fine, but when I click on any link that updates the page, i.e. a
column header to sort the database, it returns a 404 error.
Any ideas why it works the for the inital load and not on a postback?
