Home: Need a Custom or Prewritten Perl Program?: I need a program that...: delete nth byte from a file

erwrgtwy New User Mar 3, 2009, 11:09 AM Post #1 of 2 (1635 views) delete nth byte from a file Can't Post Suppose I have a large file, and I want to delete selected bytes from it by providing offsets. For example, delete the 455227th, 564649th, and 6262545th bytes from a 2 gig file. Only way I can think of is ugly: copy the file byte-by-byte to a temp file, counting bytes and skipping the ones I want to delete. Is there an elegant, in-place way to do this?
