CFFILE APPEND at the beginning

Hi all, The cffile append function append a document at the end..how could I insert a line at the beginning instead? Thanks Pat

Prepending to a file involves reading and rewriting the file.  CFFILE read, and CFFILE write with #newstring# newline #existing file# But if it's a one time thing, you might want to do this dynamically when you output the file by outputting the "header" line before the file content.

<cfset crlf = chr(13) & chr(10)> <cffile action="READ" file="#variables.file#" variable="out"> <cfset out = "my line here" & crlf & variables.out> <cffile action="WRITE" file="#variables.file#" output="#variables.out#" addnewline="No"> Of course, this requires reading the whole file. If you are on cfmx, maybe this can be done in java? Pascal ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
