Subject: [Tutor] How to delete the last line from a file efficiently?
Hi all,
Now I have a text file about 1MB. Sometimes I need to remove the last line.
The current method I use is reading all content, finding the last sentence,
remove it and write the new content to the file.
So, it need to read a 1MB file and write a 1MB file. It's ineffictient, I
think. Are there any other methods?
