Creating Text Files

[BorlandGeek]

I am having difficulty figuring out how to create a text file

at this point this is what im doing

TFileStream * Comm;

try
{
Comm = new TFileStream("text.txt", fmOpenReadWrite);
}
catch(...) //if the file does not exist
{
Comm = new TFileStream("text.txt", fmCreate);
}
now when i print to the file...
Comm->WriteBuffer("text", 5);
it keeps replacing all my text before, also if I add
a \r it doesnt seem to want to work as a return...
anyone got any ideas..

Try using \r\n.

Do u need to use the stream?

Sorry i should have responded earlier... i figured it out
I used oldschool methods.. with just a FILE struct
and fopen, fwrite, fread... you get the picture.. worked well though...

I was going to suggest u to use TStringList.
It contains all old methods to append to a filein an easier way than the FILE struct.
