Hi,

I am trying to create an XML file, it will be done in stages so if the file
isn't present I will add the line:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root_element>

Then for each line I add I add the following

<child_element>data<child_element>

But for various reasons the application won't know when the file is complete
so it won't have the final:

</root_element>

To solve this I intend to add the following each time

<child_element>data<child_element>
</root_element>

and delete the </root_element> every time I add a new
<child_element>data<child_element>. Can anyone tell me how I can delete the
last 15 characters from a file every time I open the file?

Thanks for your help
