CStdioFile
I am using the CStdioFile Class to modify a file.
But when i use the WriteString function it replaces the characters in the file. How can I add content to the file without replacing it.
Or how can i modify a single line alone

Use SeekToEnd function to set file pointer to the end of file. After this call WriteString.
Hi,
You must notice that , if the file contents is binary, you must write binary values. When you write a string, the ASCII codes are written.
To write a binary value use:
MyString.Format("%c", x);//x is what you want to write
Then write the string into the file.
Good Luck!

i think u have to read file in a string
use replace function of that string
and again write the string to the file
use replace function of that string
and again write the string to the file

The problem is that when i write a string it replaces the number of bytes of that string in the file without any concern to what line the text is . eg
the contents of file are
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Now i move to Line 2 using ReadString functions and then give
WriteString("New Line 2");
then the whole file changes as
Line 1
Line 2
New Line 2
4
So it replaces string in next line also
How to avoid this

Did you read my comment?
Hi,
After you use ReadString, the file poiter moves to end of line 2. After using WriteString, the contents are writte over line3. To avoid it, use
Seek function to point to begin of line 2 again.
Good Luck!

Hi,
Thanks For ur response.
I think i am bothering u again.
I want to insert a line to the file and not at the end. so i cant use SeekToEnd()
Similarly when my new string's length is greater than the one in the file,
the next line also gets replaced , which i want to avoid.!!
