Rewrite text file without emptying it first

[spuuunit]

My text file (.ini file) looks like this:

Quote

1

2

3

I want to change it to this:

Quote

4

5

6

This is my code:

FileOpen("selected.ini", 2)
FileWrite("selected.ini", "1" & @CRLF & "2" & @CRLF & "3")
FileClose("selected.ini")

My issue is that I only want to save / change selected.ini one time. My code saves a blank selected.ini after FileOpen(), then again after FileWrite().

How can I avoid saving a blank selected.ini first?

FileOpen() creates a new file deleting the old content.
Just create a new temporary INI file and copy it when you are done to the original file.

Oh, so that's what's happening. Thanks, that'll do wonders. 🙂

Why don't you use the Ini* functions provided by AutoIt to create your ini-file?
