Coffey, Dana

I want to open a text file and insert some text at the BEGINNING of the file
is opposed to appending beneath the existing text.

Can this be done?

    Sure; just suck the whole file into a string, append on to the front, and
replace the contents back into the file.

Cheers,

Peter

0) With System.IO...

1) Create a new file with a temp name.

2) Write the text

3) Loop the rest of the data onto the new file name

4) Delete old file

5) Rename new

OR

1) create new file with temp name

2) from a dos shell do a "copy tmp.txt+myfile.txt myfile.txt /Y"
