Hi all,

I'm trying to use open for access to open a file for writing to. If the
file exists, I want it to be overwritten.

I can't find an option for this, and an error occurs if I try to use open
for access on a file that exists.

How do I do this? Normally it's an option in the file open func..?

Cheers,
Rua.


Rua,
do not be polite, be rude, just write to the file without asking for permission...
If what you are writing is longer than what you have, the file gets overwritten.

write "I can not believe this will work" to file "path to file"
