truncating a File

Hello,

 is there an easy way to truncate the beginning or the end of a file?

I tought I can find a special position in file and then truncate the rest of it resp. cut everything above.

 

Thanks Tim

    I'm not sure if can modify a file on the fly in SKILL,
    at least I never have done this.
    You can open a file read it's contents and copy the contents you
    want to a new file.

    Have a look at the

     - SKILL Language User Guide
      o I/O and File Handling
        * Working with File Offsets (fileTell, fileSeek)
