Random Access File: Re-Use of existing file

Just mentioned (after a deep search for the problem) that RAF is reusing existing files (i did not know that)

Situation: Scan a directory, read files into bytearray, do something, write it back to another dir. Start again. Same filenames. I was wondering why the file was ok (PDF -> could be displayed) but had about 100KB more space than the original.

Fact: RAF resuses the existing file (which was larger than my buffer). So: DELETE it...

You all new that of course?

Of course !!

P.D:
(not at all !!)

RandomAccessFile provides random access to a file. You can read from and write to existing files.
