Laado,

You approach is ok for relatively small files, there are limits associated with file size and stings and memory availablity - i.e. 64Kb is probably the max you can use
this method for.

You might be better off using the FOPEN, FWRITE and FCLOSE
functions to open the file for APPEND (if it exists), writing one or more new lines and then closing the file.

*
handle = FOPEN("Temp.txt",2)
*
* Go to the end of the file.
length = FSEEK(handle, 0, 2)
** write to the file (adding a crlf)
FWRITE(handle,"new Line"+chr(13)+chr(10))
** close it
FCLOSE(handle)

Hope this helps
Regards

Griff

Hi,

Could try,

set device to printer
set printer to yourexistingfile.txt additive

This will add more text to your file.
