As usual there are many ways to do it. I haven't done much with opening files for read and write at the same time, so someone else will have to provide ideas for that.
I would either read in the whole file, then rewrite the whole file... or use DBI (assuming the file is CSV). If you read in the whole file and rewrite it make sure you flock it (see perldoc -f flock). If you try the DBI approach you can use the DBD::CSV driver: http://search.cpan.org/doc/JZUCKER/DBD-CSV-0.2002/lib/DBD/CSV.pm Rob -----Original Message----- From: senrong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 9:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Simple question need ans I am writing a simple program that update and search a text file for names and telephone number....
