If you just want to delete the content of a file but keep it with 0 length you can do: f = open( 'myfile', 'w' ) # or open( 'myfile', 'wb' ) f.close( ) Since you mentioned log files, you might want to look at the logging module: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-logging.html HTH, Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
