append data to top of text file

[hiNI]

Hello,

How can I go about appending data to the top of the file instead of the bottom as the attached VI does?

Thanks,

hiNI.

Read the whole file, set the file position offset to 0, then write the data with the new data at the top.

Jim's solution is the proper way to do it.

but if the task is only this

That just puts the new data at the end of the file, but backwards.

What did you mean by this?

Hello,

I am having a problem with the second line and beyond...there seems to be an extra tab.  How do I go about getting rid of the first tab from the second line and after?

Thanks,

hiNi.

Your strings already have the End Of Line on them.  You do not want to use the Spreadsheet String To Array.  Wire your array straight into the Concatinate String.
