textfile append

hi all!

i want to write a headerline to an existing textfile. how can i write data in the first line?

i only can append on the end of the textfile... not at the first position.

thanks

How about:

1/. Place the heading in variable1

2/. Read the textfile into variable2

3/. variable3 = variable1 & variable2

4/. save variable3 as a textfile


(I'm a newbie and that's just my first thought :D )

thanks... yes that's how it could work but that way i have to write the file twice.

what i want to do is to
1. write the file
2. encode the file
3. add the header (not encoded)

the file can be realy large... so i have to modify it. i've used the filestream object and when i debug the program it seems to do what i want... but when i look into the file there's no header
