1022 - How can I delete the last line of an external file?

by - Joseph Ganci

I need to delete the last line of an external file. I searched the archives...Bruce Van Horn said to use RemoveLine to do it. But when I try to use RemoveLine, I get an error message that asks me where RemoveLine() function is. Any ideas?

This will work:

fn := "c:\\mytextfile.txt"
file := ReadExtFile(fn)
WriteExtFile(fn, DeleteLine(file, LineCount(file)))

Have fun!
