#43848 - 2003-08-09 05:18 AM reading one file to create another
JohnQ JohnQ Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2003-03-04 Posts: 171	This seems simple enough but I keep putting myself in an endless loop. I have one text file with multiple lines. I need to append every line in that file (with the same characters). What I need to do is read the first line in file # 1, add ",blahblah" to the end of it and write the new line to a new file. Then on to the next line of file # 1, add the same thing and write it to the new file. The end result would be a new file identical to the first but with ",blahblah" at the end of every line. Any suggestions?

An example of the original file would be: I used to be stupid I am still stupid I will always be stupid The second file (to be created) would be something like: I used to be stupid,10 I am still stupid,10 I will always be stupid,10

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	hehee... Notice how similar mine is to the example. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
