Printing to file without line feed

[John K.]

Hi!

When I do like this:

Print #1, "Text" '#1 is my file

the program puts the word "text" on a new line
in a given file. But how do I append the text
on the same line as the last time?

I know I could be saving all the text in a variable,
and then print it to the file, but believe me,
that doesn't work for me in this situation.

Please, any suggestions?

Hi John,

>But how do I append the text on the same line as the last time?

If you type:

Print #1, "Text1";
Print #1, "Text2"

"Text2" will follow "Text1" in the file, without any line breaks in
between. Notice the semicolon on the first line.

Do this:

Print #1, "Text"; 'note the semicolon

'the semicolon prevents vb from inserting a carriage return & line feed

You may want to read the line of text into a variable, then combine the new
text to the end of the old. Finally, write the new string out with the print
statement.

I.E
Line Input oldString
Print #1, oldstring & "New Text";

Hope you get the idea?!?
