File Processing Programming Question

[THT]

Heres what I need to do:

I have a text file with multiple lines which is constantly updating.

I want to read the file and delete the row i process without losing any new data that has been added since I first opened it.


For example:

1) File Has 4 rows
2) Open file read first row
3) Another row is added to the file

I now need to delete line 1, without losing line 5


What the best way to do this - not looking for actual code - simply method

hi HT,

Long time no speak (we spoke a long time ago here when I had a differen username)

Yeah I can Do C, C++ - I try to avoid .net cos i just dont like it!

The reason I dont want to leave the entries there, is next time i open the program, i dont want to have to process all those again.
I could clear the file, but then id lose any outstanding entries.

Any ideas?

Thanks
