Append to beginning of a text file 1

[PoppapumpJ]

I can append to the end of a file fairly easily. Is there a simple way to just append to the beginning of the file? If not, does anyone have examples to do so?

Thanks

You'll need to read the contents of the text file into a string variable, put what you want to be at the beginning of the file into another variable, and then concatenate the two:

dim theFile, theBeginning
theFile = "here's what is now in the text file"
'Obviously, the above line will need to be replaced w/ FSO methods to get the actual contents into the variable

theBeginning = "I'm going to stick this at the beginning"

dim theTextFile
theTextFile = theBeginning & theFile

Very simplified, but this is the general method you'll need to use.
