HI all.
I was wondering if there is a way to do the following better, i.e. a procedure/fuction
I can use.
I have a flatfile DB that I save record structures into.
>From time to time, I want to delete a record from the file.
I can EDIT the record ok, but to delete a record I do the following :-
Loop thru the records putting the records that dont match the name I am looing for
into another flatfile DB, and when the name I am want to delete is found I the just
dont add that record to the new DB, then when its finished, I delete the DB, rename
the second one back to the original one, i.e. from db.tmp to db.dat etc.
But I wonder if this IS the best way. It does delete duplicate names too, but thats my
fault..
Can anyone suggest a better way ?
Cheers, Jeremy Coulter
