VB6 File Flag

[mmurphmsu]

Does anyone know how to reset the file flag in VB6 so that I can make a file that writes rows? For example:

Apples
Oranges
Bananas
Grapes

Then after writing "Grapes", goes back to the top and writes:

Apples 5
Oranges 7
Bananas 3
Grapes 6

Then goes back to the top and does it again.

hi

if your file has been written already you can't, exept in case your use a binary random access file. but you need to declare fields.
otherwise you need to open the sourcefile again (for input), read it in e.g a listbox, add numbers behind the selected items and write back.
