MS Access Forum / General 1 / February 2005write to text file
The following code will "append" text to the END of the text file. How can I add text to the beginning of a text file? Dim fno As Integer fno = FreeFile Open "test.txt" For Append As #fno Print #fno, "Hello World" Close #fno fno = FreeFile Open "test.txt" For Append As #fno Print #fno, "Hello World2" Close #fno >The following code will "append" text to the END of the text file. How >can I add text to the beginning of a text file? To the beginning and leave the rest of the file intact? I think you'd have to create a new file write the new data and then copy the data from the old file.

Microsoft Access Links, Hints, Tips & Accounting Systems at http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm The text to be inserted at the beginning of the file is static text so the "beggining" file (let's call it FileA) could already exist. If I copy FileB to FileA will it insert all the text from FileB to the end of FileA? > The text to be inserted at the beginning of the file is static text so > the "beggining" file (let's call it FileA) could already exist.

So create a new text file, add the header stuff, then copy the data from the old file. Save the new file, delete the old one, and rename the new one. Just use the Name function. |
