Is here an easy way to append to a file instead of having to read it all in, add an extra line, then save it all back to disk again? thx

I think you can use SeekStream with StreamSize to move the pointer to the end, use WriteLine (or whatever) then close the file.

sounds logical. Will test. Thanks.

Found this here some time ago:

	Function appendtext:String(filename:String, text:String) 
		If FileType(filename) = 0 Then CreateFile(filename) 
		Local Stream:TStream = OpenStream(filename)
		SeekStream(Stream, Stream.Size())
		WriteLine(stream, text) 
		CloseStream(stream) 
	End Function


bye

You might need a "~n" as well.
