Clear contents of a Text File

ayesha hassan asked:

I am working on a sever/client applicataion. I want to maintain information of all active clients in a text file named "Information.txt". I update this text file after every 3 seonds. So, I want the text file to clear all of its contents after every 3 seconds without deleting the file. Is there any way to do it ? :( I don't want to use freopen().
