[mudigondla]

Hi all

I am Kiran, working with LV8.0  FDS

I find difficulty while trying to add new file contents(some messages)  to an existing file at the end /begining of a file.

Whenever i try to do that,it is replacing the previous contents,but i dont need that. i want the contents to be appended.

Plz suggest me.

thanks & regards

Hi Kiran,

you should use the 'Set File position' function after opening the file and before writing to it!

Hi Kiran,

yes, I can attach a screenshot

(open file, set file position to end, write text, close file)
