Python Empty File Leaving 10,000 Lines -
so have text file total of ids know not them again. every sec seems i'm adding 1,000.
i want empty file while keeping lastly 10,000 lines.
i know can empty file open(file, 'w').close()
won't work.
what can do? i'm open ideas.
your question operating scheme or file scheme specific.
all files (on posix systems linux, , on windows) can truncated @ tail: file scheme layer of os not allow removing bytes @ front end (or in middle) of file (viewed sequence of bytes).
so need re-create n lastly lines elsewhere (in other temporary file) rename temporary file appropriately.
(btw, reply not python specific. same in c++ or ocaml ...)
python file file-io
