sorry, I didn't notice that aspect of the things :) The problem in your code is that you're using CFile::modeCreate, but according to the documentation[^], this flag tells to truncate the file if already existing :

MSDN says:

CFile::modeCreate Directs the constructor to create a new file. If the file exists already, it is truncated to 0 length

So, you have to add the flag CFile::modeNoTruncate to counter this undesired behavior. The use of this flag however keeps the file pointer at the beginning of the file. So if you want to append things at the end, you must call once after CStdioFile::Open() the function CStdioFile::Seek(CFile::end). Does the following work better ?

CStdioFile file;
if (file.Open(_T("\\log.txt"), CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeNoTruncate)) {
//file.Seek(0, CFile::end);
file.SeekToEnd();
file.WriteString(logfile);
file.WriteString(_T("\n"));
file.Close();
}

god, I made a typo. you shouldn't have read

if (_T(file.Open("\\log.txt"), CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeNoTruncate)) {

but this :

if (file.Open(_T("\\log.txt"), CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeNoTruncate)) {

I fixed the previous post BTW. and sorry, I am at work, and I have no compiler, so I couldn't test it before posting...

i was read but i think both have make same mistake..And mistake is

file.Seek(CFile::end)

this is not right and right one is this

file.Seek(0,CFile::end)

Any way thxs for help..

Yes you're right. BTW, you still can call CFile::SeekToEnd() which takes no parameters, and moves directly to the end of file. anyway, does it work now for you ?
