How do can this IO work?

[Shaun29]

basically I am trying to use the selected file in open dialog to write to instead of a pre-ordained "logfile"

i want to select the file to write to?


Me.txtFile.Text = ""
ofd.ShowDialog()
Me.txtFile.Text = ofd.FileName

If Not Me.txtFile.Text = "" Then
'Read the existing file
Dim FileText As String = ""
FileText = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Me.txtFile.Text)
'Write to the log file
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(LogFile,FileText)

Timer1.Start()
Timer1.Enabled = True


MessageBox.Show("B.O.M Transfered")
Else
MessageBox.Show("Please select a file.")


how do i implement the selected file in open file dialog instead of this..
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(LogFile,FileText)

i need

System.IO.File.AppendAllText(what ever file is selected from open file dialog)

Are you saying you want to choose a source file with the OpenFileDialog and then choose a destination file? If so, just reuse the OpenFileDialog and the .FileName property instead of your LogFile variable.

can you give me an example
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(Filename)???

i tryed this but it does no work

System.IO.File.AppendAllText(ofd.FileName, FileText)

 

[Shaun29]

every time i use
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(ofd.FileName, FileText)
it writes text to the file i first selected

What does it do? Are you using two different strings, or re-appending the same string from the same file?
