Copy your file to another file,while copying if you found the text that you want to remove,dont do anything.

That would be a noob salution ... I would like to delete some bytes from the end of a file !

Read the entire file into a buffer. Close the file. Find the text that you're looking for inside the buffer and remove it. Reopen the file for writing. Dump the buffer into the file.

Get a handle with [red]CreateFile()[/red]
then move the file pointer with [red]SetFilePointer()[/red]to where you want to chop off the remaining bytes
then do [red]SetEndOfFile()[/red] on the handle
