writing to a text file 2

[Jonah86]

Is there a way to write a new line to an existing text file from Delphi? The file would be saved on a network drive and users would hit a button to report a problem with a certain aspect of the program, and it would just add a line of text to the text file based on some criteria.

I'm not sure if this is something that can be done or not. I tried searching, but didn't get any results I could use.

Thanks.

Use TextFile.

For example, if you want to add the line 'Hello World' to the file c:\log.txt in the Button1 OnClick handler your code would look something like:-

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  f: TextFile;
begin
  AssignFile ( f, 'c:\log.txt' );
  Append ( f );
  WriteLn ( f, 'Hello World' );
  CloseFile ( f );
end;
