I want to be able to add to the top of a file, but I can only find out how to add to the bottom of a file. Currently I am using:

fopen file 0_CREAT|0_WRONLY|O_APPEND "C:\SBBS\XTRN\INFO\INFO.LST"

and that appends to the bottom of the list, but I want to show the newest to
oldest, not oldest to newest.

I'm assuming I just leave off the O_APPEND, but is there a correct way.

Thanks

i probably could have done this like 15 or more years ago with baja, but I can't process the way to do it now.

what i would do (which requires no brain power) is to cat your new line to a new file, then cat your current list to that file, then move that file over your info.lst

or if your list file has a date or something sortable, you could just sort the file.

Leaving off O_APPEND will *overwrite* the portions of the file you write to. There is no standard method for "inserting" data into a file. You would have to read the file contents and re-write them with the "inserted" data first, then the old data.

Ok, Thanks, that was what I was afraid off... Looks like I have some work to do. <BFG>

I hear you, at 70, I'm loosing a lot of my skill set also. <BFG>

Both good ideas, but I like the sort issue best. I may be able to pull that off, but I will have to look at the file first.
