i have a file<br />
<br />
host1<br />
host2<br />
host3<br />
<br />
after I process host1, <br />
<br />
I want the file to read:<br />
<br />
host2<br />
host3<br />
host1<br />
<br />
That way if I read off the first host name, process it, rotate it and then put the next host &nbsp;name at the top to process it. <br />
<br />
Yes there is a reason I do not want to just use an array. &nbsp;Because this affects servers, I want to request to process one, request to process the second, request to process the third. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
thx
