Logging Data to Files

[Tim Smith]

I have a project that requires logging of data to a file. The file is
supposed to hold records until it reaches a certain size, then start
shifting the oldest records out as the new data is being written to the
file.

Anyone know where to find sample code to accomplish this?


Thanks

Tim,

You need for that the FileInfo class property length to do that.

With all the rest of the references about filehandling on this page it
should in my opinion be for every programmer (beginner or not) a piece of
cake to make a program what does what you want.

Take a look at 'FileOpen', 'FileGet', 'FilePut', and 'FileClose' in the
documentation.
