Hi, I need to create a log file, adding info without loosing old data.

how can I write a file without loosing the old file data?

I remember that in qbasic, the function "append" used to do that.

regards!.

Use OpenFile instead of WriteFile. Next, use SeekFile/FileSize to seek to the end of the file. Then, you can add data to it.

yeap!

thanks Warner!

file = openfile(filename$)
seekfile (file,filesize(filename$))
writeline file,"APPENDING TEXT LINE"
closefile file
