Delete data from random access file

[Samir Patel]

Hi,
I am doing program with RandomAccessFile class. I can write data to file and can read data from file. Now, if I want to delete perticular data from file, then is it possible to delete that data from that file. I am really confuse with that.
Please help me to getout from this confusion.
Thank you very much,
Samir

Samir,
I'm not aware of any way that you can delete data from an existing file using RandomAccessFile or any other Java class. I believe that you'd have to create a new file that only contains the data you want to keep and replace the original file with the new one.
