Deleting a Text File in PL/SQL

28097Oct 8 2001
I am using the utl_file package to read a text file one row at a
time into my PL/SQL program, I then manipulate data and output
my results to a 2nd text file.

I reuse the the output file and would therefore like to delete
the contence of the file before I start the procedure. Does
anybody know how to delete a text file within a PL/SQL procedure?

Thanks for you help
