Can I write "empty" to a text file?

[MisterX]

delete file myfile is very fast.

However if you just open the file for writing, and not for appending, you
will replace the file... (untested)...  

Writing emptyvar to the file, will do "nothing" to the file... Tested many
times because it was supposed to write something and the variable was empty!
;)
