Is there any way to open a file for input and output at the same time?

Open it with the '+<' MODE. open my $fh, '+<', $file or die "Couldn't open $file: $!"; my @keep; while ( <$fh> ) { next if /^--/; push @keep, $_; } seek $fh, 0, 0; truncate $fh, 0; print $fh @keep; http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/open.html -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson Email: http://www.gunnar.cc/cgi-bin/contact.pl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
