I must be missing some simple method on a file object or something. What I need to do is to truncate the first line of a file which has an unknown number of lines and an unknown size.
The only thing I can think to do is to readlines() and then slice off the first line in the resulting list, then writelines(). pseduo-code: my_file = open('file.txt', 'wb') lines = my_file.readlines() del lines[0] my_file.writelines() my_file.close() Is there a better way? /alex _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
