You should be able to do that with the File System Object (as long as your server supports it).

You can read lines of a file one at a time so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to delete also.

I can't remember the syntax to be able to give you the code but You should be able to find it on Microsoft's MSDN.

Kat,

I have read every book I have, and even looked on MSDN and could not find anything. The only thing I could think about doing is opening the text file, reading each line into a variable, then re-writing the text file without the first line. but it just seems like 2 much work.

No delete method available that I know of. What about going to the second line and writing "backstrokes"? Probably that's not its name but isn't there a special character that goes back-wards and deletes on the way?

Hope it helps,
Paco

Well I was using a web based asp chat program that wrote the data to a text file. Its a good chat program but I dont think it can handle to many users, so I am back to searching for something else. Do yall know of a good free java applet chat program?
