Hi,

Writing (Overwriting)
We open the file for writing much like we have before, but this time we use just one > symbol before the file variable, rather than the two we used for appending:

Code:

$sitename="Discussweb";
$siteurl="http://www.Discussweb.com";
$description="A Super Discussion Site";
$sitedata="websites.txt";

# write to the data file
open(DAT,">$sitedata") || die("Cannot Open File");
print DAT "$sitename\|$siteurl\|$description\n"; 
close(DAT);

Now, the file would have only our new contents in it, and none of the old contents will remain:

Supersite|http://www.supersite.com|A Super Duper Site
