accumulative log

Hi,

The code i have currently only log in the current string.
How can i edit the code so that it "remembers" the old string plus add in the current string?

So the result is something like
10/10/2011 04:26:40 PM Strings
10/10/2011 04:26:45 PM Strings
11/10/2011 02:26:40 PM Strings

*Note: I am using vb script

Sub asd(o As GwxPick)
Call Write_in_File("C:\logfile.log", "Strings")
End Sub
Function Write_in_File(File, Content)
        Dim newFS
            Set newFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
            Set File_Name = newFS.OpenTextFile(File, 2, True)
            File_Name.Write Now & " " & Content
            File_Name.Close
            Set File_Name = Nothing
            Set newFS = Nothing
End Function

Open in new window

Try another opening mode

' OpenTextFile Method needs a Const value
' ForAppending = 8 ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
Const ForAppending = 8

Can it be coded in a way the new string is written on a new line instead?

Glad to help you

Visual Basic Classic

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
