my app will be parsing an array of data and generating text strings (of around 80 chars each), which I then want to append to a text file. What is the best (fastest) way to do the file appends? file size will be up to 40K lines.

This question is a little more in depth than the typical append and save. I'm needing to append multiple controls text to 1 file. Basically what I have is:User inputs name in TextBox1 User inputs Service Type from selected list in ComboBox1 User checks of any or all CheckedListBox fields that apply. Now, all together, there are actually between 4 to 6 different checkedlistboxes.What I am wanting to do is when the user clicks the Submit button (Button1), at the bottom, it will write a text file of TextBox1.Text,omboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString, and all the checkedlistbox items.Now there is a small thing I may have to start another question on. For every checked item in a checked list box, I would like to writ

I want to append a text file with items from a listbox. I tried to search for a code to do that, but couldn't find anything(most likely I don't know what I am looking for). But I wrote this code and got it to work, but after looking at the code, it looks sloppy and I'm sure could have bugs I didn't catch....my question is, is there a better code than the one I made, or will my code work fine. I am eager to write code correctly, not just get the code to work.

I am trying to append a new line to a text file. Sometimes it posts to a new line (like I want it to) and sometimes it appends to the current line, consequently screwing up my read. I even put VbNewLine in the code.
Here is the snippet:

outputline2 = equip & "," & value
Dim myfile2 = File.AppendText("equiped.txt")
myfile2.WriteLine(outputline2, vbNewLine)

i'm writing an application where error messages are written into a text file.
text file is created using win32API createfile() function.
after that everytime an error occurs the message is written into the text file with writefile() API.

i want to append the new message at the end of the text already in the file.

I am attempting to append information to a textbox in VB. My app allows the user to choose a variety of options and displays all the information in a single, read-only text box.
I would like to set it up so every time an event triggers something to be written in the text box, it gets appended instead of overwriting the text currently in the box.
The only constraint is that text should be appended as a new line, not directly after the last sentence.

Say I've got a variable that contains multiple words, each one separated by a newline. What I'm trying to do is add specific text to the end of each line in that variable.
For example, say the variable contains...
alpha
bravo
charlie
etc
etc.
And say the text I want to append is "newtext"
So then I'd like the output to look like...
alpha newtext
bravo newtext
charlie newtext
etc
etc
What I tried to do is to split that variable into an array (separated by newline), and then use a For Each to append the newtext to each line in the array. But it's obvious I haven't messed around with VB in a long time, as something is wrong with my logic. Here's what I've got...
Dim Text_Array() As String
Dim OriginalText As String
Dim OutputText As String
