Hi,

I'm trying to append data to the end of an existing file and thought that Seek() was the ticket. I thought that all I would have to do was the following:

Code: Select all

openfile(1,"RAM:Test",#MODE_WRITE)
writeline(1,"This is line 1")
closefile(1)

openfile(1,"RAM:Test",#MODE_WRITE)
seek(1,#EOF)
writeline(1,"This is line 2")
closefile(1)

openfile(1,"RAM:Test",#MODE_READ)
debugprint(readline(1))
debugprint(readline(1))
closefile(1)

The second readline causes a "Beyond EOF" Error and RAM:Test file only consists of the phrase "This is line 2". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nathan

Hi,

sorry for the delay. I'm on vacation currently and do not have Internet access every day.

To answer your question: You need to remove Seek(1, #EOF), then it will work. WriteLine() will automatically append the line to your file.
