John, Something like this GFile *file; GFileOutputStream *output; GDataOutputStream *data; file = g_file_new_for_uri(uri); output = g_file_replace(file, NULL, FALSE, G_FILE_CREATE_NONE, NULL, NULL); data = g_data_output_stream_new((GOutputStream *) output); if (data != NULL) { g_data_output_stream_put_string(data, "#EXTM3U\n", NULL, NULL); g_output_stream_close((GOutputStream *) data, NULL, NULL); } Kevin - -- Get my public GnuPG key from http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7D0BD5D1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1NooYACgkQ6w2kMH0L1dEcgACfaD3sGP2pKKZCRl+gC7T8Gj38 YewAmgL5Pd5UnPgarGav7Ynd7fA8pmWw =dKXE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
