[02/03] File.AppendText problem

[lionelnz]

Hi folks. Can't seem to understand why there is an extra line created with my appendtext code at the end. This creates empty records at the top of the listbox after every new phone list added.

I also have a problem with the inputbox message display where there are a number of "," appearing!

The (brief) pseudocode is:-
Open file with Phone Dir's
Display Ph Dir for use to choose via input box
If PD not exist ask if user wants to create it

If yes then create file & add to PD list

BTW I have a Dim sw As Streamwriter at the top. (I may put it with the actual AppendText code for clarity later on.)

SortData(temp, counter) 'sort data
 
    lstOutput.Items.Clear() 'Clear listbox
    'Display PhDir List
    For i = 1 To counter
      lstOutput.Items.Add(temp(i))
    Next
 
    'Create list for input box for user to choose/create phonelist
    For i = 1 To counter
      dirList = dirList & ", " & temp(i)
    Next
 
    'prompt user for phonelist
    prompt = "Enter phone directory: " & dirList
    fn = InputBox(prompt).ToUpper
    'search for name
 
    'Search for file
    If File.Exists(f & fn) Then
      sw = File.AppendText(f & fn)
      sw.WriteLine(name)
      sw.WriteLine(number)
      sw.Close()
    Else 'If file does not exist ask user if they want to create it
      r = MsgBox("File Not Found! Do you want create a new phonelist?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNoCancel, vbYesNoCancel)
      If r = vbYes Then
        sw = File.AppendText(f & fn)
        sw.WriteLine(name)
        sw.WriteLine(number)
        sw.Close()
      End If
      Dim exists As Boolean = False
      For i = 1 To counter
        If fn = temp(i) Then
          exists = True
        End If
      Next
      If exists = False Then 'Write new PhDir to PhDir file list
        sw = File.AppendText(f & pL)
        sw.WriteLine(fn)
        sw.Close()
      Else
      End If
    End If
