    Inserting text at the beginning of a text file

    I am writing the app in VB.NET but this is not a .NET specific question.

    I have an already existing text file that has 200 lines. I need to insert a line at the top of the document but all I can figure out how to do is append it to the end. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks,

    Jim

    I hate you, my book does not have that one.....

    Best I could think of off the top of my head is to open it then save your new data over it then append the existing data to the file.

    Well to be honest I have never read a file into memory, preserving its structure and then writing it to another file. Do you have the code for that?
