how to edit a locked file?

Hi all,



I have to edit a file that is locked by a process (tomcat).



Notepad cannot edit the file, notepad++ can edit (clear) the file without any problems.

How can I make TestComplete (via JScript) clear the file like notepad++ does?



Stopping the locking process unfortunately is not an option.



This does not work (nor do similar workarounds):

aqFile.WriteToTextFile(fileName, "test", aqFile.ctANSI, true);



Best regards

Joachim
