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.
but whenever a new message is written the old text in the file is getting overwritten.
i want to append the new message at the end of the text already in the file.
I have text file to read. If i find a line "T001" then i must add specific text beside that line. With my code now it write the specific text at the end of the file not beside the line "T001" This is my code so far
Dim filename As String = strFileName
Dim tfLines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(filename)
Dim objwriter As StreamWriter
objwriter = File.AppendText(filename)

When I run this I get the file is currently in use.
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)

The problem is I need to APPEND data to the same file. What I do now results in the same file being overwritten. I am dealing with large amounts of data, so I would love a way to append to the file without the need to re-read it with each save.code lines 1-4 are in a loop so that at one time, they add a few hundred rows to the DataSet. After that loop is when the save takes place. However, I want to run that loop again and again every so often to update that same file.

I have a very large text file about 4 million lines that I would like to separate into several small text files based on the strings contained in the first column of the text file. I want to open the large text file, choose the lines that apply, create a new text file with a name that has a number at the end of which will match up with the value in the first column of the text file. I want to then copy the applicable lines to the new small text file, save and close it. I'm not sure how to go about doing this after opening the large text file and using the readline method. What if the folder does not exist? Do we have to create it? I want this procedure to be general, as there could be up to 25 million lines in the text file.

I've got a program which displays data in a listbox in five columns. All are separated using one or more ControlChars.Tab. I want to write these columns to a text file, however, when I do, my columns lose their alignment. I can change alignment so that it displays nicely in text file, but then it is off in list box. Is there a way to get what I see in my listbox to display the same way in a text file - maybe a different way of separating my columns (not using ControlChars.Tab)?
