textstream/filesystemobject

Okay;
I have two files. File one contains header info. File two contains 8 records (13 lines per record).

I need to append the contents of "Kronos.txt(file two) into Header.txt(file one). I have never used filesystemobject or textstream before. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here or am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks

Public sub OpenMe()
Dim mystr1 As String
Dim FileSystemObject, TextStream As Object, tStream As Object

Set FileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TextStream = FileSystemObject.createtextfile("c:\testing\kronos.txt")
Set TextStream = FileSystemObject.OpenTextFile("c:\testing\kronos.txt, ForAppending")
Set tStream = FileSystemObject.createtextfile("c:\testing\header.txt")
Set tStream = FileSystemObject.OpenTextFile("c:\testing\header.txt, ForReading")
Do While Not EOF(2)
mystr1 = TextStream.readline
tStream.Writeline = mystr1
Loop
End sub

I find it best to set a reference to the microsoft scripting runtime. It makes things much easier to deal with and you can autocomplete your methods/properties. Here's what I did:

Code:

---

'Set up the FileSystemObject and the TextStreams
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim txtstream1 As TextStream
Dim txtstream2 As TextStream

Private Sub Form_Load()
    'Create our temp string so that we have some place to dump
    'the file, also setup the FileSystemObject
    Dim temptext As String
    Set fso = New FileSystemObject
   
    'Open our files for reading
    Set txtstream1 = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testing\kronos.txt", ForReading)
    Set txtstream2 = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testing\header.txt", ForReading)
   
    'Load in the files to our temp string and join them with a
    'carriage return + line feed combo
    temptext = txtstream1.ReadAll
    temptext = temptext & vbCrLf & txtstream2.ReadAll
   
    'close the files
    txtstream1.Close
    txtstream2.Close
   
    'reopen our header.txt file for writing.
    Set txtstream2 = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testing\header.txt", ForWriting)
   
    'a quick debug to make sure everything is ok
    Debug.Print temptext
   
    'write our temp string out to the header file
    txtstream2.Write temptext
   
    'close the file
    txtstream2.Close
   
    'set our filesystem objects to nothing for cleanup.
    Set txtstream1 = Nothing
    Set txtstream2 = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
End Sub
