Delete Contents of a File

Hi All,

I am using FILE (fprintf) operations to write into a specified file.

Later, at a specific point i need to delete the contents of the file.

Can anyone suggest how i can delete the contents of the file using FILE operations. (not by using iostream, of c++)
ex: fprintf

Thanks,
Arun.

Hi,
You can open the again in write mode, which will delete the contents.
You can also do it using fseek...but not sure abt the logic
Thanks

The contents, or the actual file? (And as we ask everyone, what have you tried on this?)
