Thanks for the response so far...
I'm still not sure on how to get the code to start on a new line in the file (yes they
are text files). Say I wrote variable1 to line one how do I get it to write the next
variable to line two?
Thanks

Assuming you're talking about text files:
A. suck the whole thing up in memory, change it there, write it back out.
B. open a temp, copy till the line of interest, write your change,
copy remainder. mv/cp the temp to the original.
C. read to line of interest, ftell(), suck remainder into memory.
ftruncate(), fseek(), write your changes, write out the remainder.
