A simple problem has anyone a method of writing a single line of text to a text file without appending to the last one written. I have an application where I am writing some data to a text file. It is updated every 15 seconds and I simply want to update the text file with the new value?

I think I have tried every way, but might have missed the obvious.

The way I am using just now is to create an INI file, but call it a .txt. This works fine, but I would prefer not to have the section name and the = sign. I can blank the entry, but the square brackets remain and the = sign.

There must be a way of doing this with a simple text file without having to delete the file and rewriting???? I can insert at start and end, but not overwrite?? I tried \b for backspace, but it doesn't seem to work in Opus.
I have to use a text file. Registry is not an option or database The file is then picked up by another application.

I think I have found an action which will do it!!


in actions....'write text to file and overwrite'.



I knew there would be a way somewhere.
