need help with scanning/dumping array to text file

[dbecker 0]

okay, so you guys helped me out big time with a script before, and it works, but not for a repeat performance.

so I've got this great flash application that can call my executable scripts, and it can call up and read a text file(which my script writes an array to), but it doesn't re-write the text file when I hit my re-scan button, which just runs the exact same script as the original scan. The code I'm putting in here is run word for word as the scan, and as the rescan. in fact it's the same file. just run again. The problem, is that when I click my rescan button, the script doesn't clear out the text file and re-dump the array like it's supposed to. anyone have any suggestions?

$FileOpen = FileOpen($FileLocation, 2)
FileWriteLine($FileOpen, "scan_results=")
FileClose($FileOpen)

        _ArrayAdd($diagnose, " Post Service Pack-2 Updates")

Next

    $SplitTemp = StringSplit($CheckFiles[$n], ",")
;_ArrayAdd($diagnose,$SplitTemp[1])
    If Not FileExists($SplitTemp[1]) Then _ArrayAdd($diagnose, $SplitTemp[2])
Next


;_ArrayDisplay($diagnose, "Diagnostic Results")

; Output to file
$FileOpen = FileOpen($FileLocation, 2); Look at file open, 2 erases everything, I imagine that's what you want.
For $FileWriteCount = 1 To UBound($diagnose) - 1
    If $diagnose[$FileWriteCount] And $FileWriteCount == 1 Then FileWriteLine($FileOpen, "scan_results=" & $diagnose[$FileWriteCount])
    If $diagnose[$FileWriteCount] And $FileWriteCount > 1 Then FileWriteLine($FileOpen, $diagnose[$FileWriteCount])
Next
FileClose($FileOpen); Close the FileOpen handle

I'm having trouble understanding what you want. Do you want the text file completely erased when you rescan and then the information from the new scan put into the old text file?

If this is the case then just do a FileDelete of the old file and it will be gone, then when it is created again during the scan, it will only have the new info in it.
