[erlang-questions] Read and delete file

[Bengt Kleberg]

Greetings,

The simplest way, if you can have the whole file in memory, would be to
read all lines, handle a single line and then write all the remaining
lines out to the file. Then repeat.
Use file:read_file/1 (split the line from the binary) and
file:write_file/2.
