Hi AppsByAaron

please look at the sample above (TextFiles.zip).
LstData is a listbox on form1.

This has got me up to speed using text files, ta very to you all.

Using other programs I can change, let's say one line of a data file without overwriting the whole file.

I'm jiggered if I can fathom out how to do it in B4PPC.

Any thoughts, about this, most welcome.

Regards,

KevG

You can open a file in random access mode and change only parts of it. However as text files use Unicode encoding it will be very hard to find the right position.
I recommend you to open the file, read the lines one by one or everything at once. Edit the text and save it to a new file.

Thanks for that Erel,

Since posting the thread I've come to the same conclusion.
The Table / database / CSV file option seems to work and does just the job.

Ta,
