Log file with newest entry on top

[GKatReliable]

I want to create and maintain a log file for the user that shows the most recent entry on top. I am adding a date and time stamp to the log file entry. This is a pure text file.
I _WANT_ CR/LF's. I find that for whatever reason, adding TEXT to fopen does not add CR/LF with fputs. I tried FWRITE with `r`n and got Unexpected Escape Sequence.
I thought I could read the text file into a variable, then write out the new line and write out this variable after it, thereby putting the new line on top. This isn't working. For one thing, it is not overwriting the file with this technique. I've been searching the aspectscript website and this forum and good old Procomm script help for tidbits.

How are you opening the file now (i.e. what flags in addition to TEXT)? Is the rest of the string being added OK?

is a sample I have that shows how to insert into a text file if you want to just add the line instead of trying to overwrite an existing line.
