Hi John,

I agree with Ken.

Try this: (assuming your file is text and not binary)

--> PUT THE FILEPATH INTO A VAR
put "C:/testfile.txt" into tFilePath

--> THIS PUTS THE CONTENTS OF THE FILE INTO A VAR
put URL ("file:" & tFilePath) into tTextVariable

-->DO STUFF TO tTextVariable
put return & "another line" after tTextVariable

--> THIS WRITES THE VAR OUT TO THE ORIG FILE
put tTextVariable into URL ("file:" & tFilePath)

that should do what you want...

best,

Chipp

I am discovering that open/write/close to a file can be a problem if the
original file size is larger than the new data size...it simply overwrites
data in the file, leaving the extra data in tact. Using 'put into URL' does
not do this (it overwrites the entire file). Is this correct behavior, or a
bug?
