OPEN "" for output as #1

how can I opena file,

Code:

---

Open "c:\windows\desktop\test1.txt" For Input As #1

---

count the number of line
and add a new line in the file ...

ex.:

before:
Line1
line2

After:
Line1

Open "MyFile" For Input As #1
Text1.Text = Input$(LOF(1), 1)
Close #1

Ok..
there is no way to UPDATE the file..
so..
it,s because it will be a log fil of all a year..
in all a scool..

Well, if you want to add to the end of it:

Code:

---

Open "MyFile" For Append As #1
Print #1, Text1.text
Close #1

---

Working with files you should use the Freefile function:
FreeFile supplies a file number that is not already in use.

Dim intNum as integer
intNum = Freefile

Open "yourpath/yourfile.ext" for Append as Intnum

You can open tons of files this way and never have to keep track of the file numbers used. #1,#2,#3

Code:

---

Dim fn As FreeFile, i as Long
Open FILE for Input As #fn
Do While Not EOF(fn)
Line Input #fn, MyStr
i = i + 1
Loop
Close

MsgBox "Your file contains " & i & " lines!"

---

have fun!

Did ...

Code:

---

Open "MyFile" For Append As #1
    Print #1, Text1.text
Close #1

---

... Will add a line before put a new data :

BEFORE1
BEFORE2
AFTER

Or:

BEFORE1
BEFORE2AFTER

'this is the content of myfile.txt before
Before
Before2
Before3

[code]
Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1 = "This is after I append"

Dim myFile As String
Dim intNum As Integer
myFile = "C:\my documents\myfile.txt"
intNum = FreeFile

Open myFile For Append As intNum
Print #1, Text1.Text
Close intNum

End Sub
[code]
'this is it after running the above
Before
Before2
Before3
This is after I append

Ok..
