erasing content of text file.

[Fuga]

Hi.

I would like to open a text file and erase its content automatically. This is so it won´t be too large.

I´ve seen one mehtod which involves looping through all the lines and replacing them, but isn´t there a "delete everything" method?

After deleting, I want to save the file.

Why don't you just delete the file itself?

Or just replace it with a new file with the same name like this.

Private Sub ReplaceOldFile()
    Open "c:\text1.txt" For Output As #1
    Close #1
End Sub

Thanks Tim!

Yes, replacing the file with a new one will do just fine, I think. I´ll have a try with your code.
