in thread Need help! Data in file getting deleted

If I do the

open (FILE, ">>$filename") or die "$!";

I have two sets of the data in my file. I only want one. It works fine as long as the user doesn't try to delete a duplicate. The duplicate is causing my issues.

Have you tried printing the data to screen to check to make sure they are there? -- Allolex Perl and Linguistics http://world.std.com/~swmcd/steven/perl/linguistics.html http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=3394 http://www.wall.org/~larry/keynote/keynote.html	[reply]

So you then you'll have to test to find out if the file is empty or not before running this. Are you asking how to do that, or where?	[reply]

the data is there up to the point where the interface removes the file-lock. If I remove the file-lock by the command line the data is still there. Or if I try to access the page again via the interface and then have the interface delete the lock it's fine.	[reply]
