Could I do something like this: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; open (FILE, '+<', 'sample.txt') or die "Could not open sample.txt: + $!"; close (FILE) or die "Could not close sample.txt: $!";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Using > instead of < will open it for writing and truncate the file. `open (FILE, '>', 'sample.txt') or die "Could not open sample.txt: $!"; close (FILE) or die "Could not close sample.txt: $!";` [download] ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply] [d/l]
