Re^2: lack an adequate understanding of (at least) the seek function

mikeraz,

Thanks, man!

I learned a few things from your reply and the combination of your reply and jeffa's was real helpful as he showed a whole different approach while your approach was conducive to my attempt.

Though, I confess to not understanding how excessive line numbers would be removed from the original file. Like if it had 30 lines and a limit was 10, I can see how the array would have the desired ten lines. But, I don't see how the 30 line file wouldn't end up having 40, with the array's "contribution" preceding what is already there.

I'll test it out.

Thanks again...

You're correct, the code as shown will append. That's easy enough to correct though. Replace the >> with a single > in your open of the output file.	[reply]
