in reply to How to modify/delete records in a flat-file database?

Hi Joe

In additional to the above-listed approaches, I'd like to suggect you to try use CPAN module Tie::File to simplify work with file rows. That modile allows you access to the file rows via Perl array. So you can use all array functions.

It's only my opinion and it doesn't have pretensions of absoluteness!

    HI, That looks like an interesting module. I especially like that it doesn't load the enire file into memory to make changes to it. The cache feature is pretty neat also. Thanks for sending that link my way. I appreciate your help. Joe
