With a FileReader:BufferedReader, I need to del file contents and start logging again. Is there a really simple way to do this that I am missing?

I have a: BufferedReader inLine = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("supptLog.txt")); .... Psuedo: Is date in fileHeader today? -yes, append to present log. -no,. Remove contents (delete file somehow?). Put in new Header. Continue logging. Is there a really simple way to do the content removal or file deletion that I am missing?

Use RandomAccessFile instead of BufferedReader/FileReader. Then RandomAccessFile.setLength(0) will set the file size to zero.
