Hi cedric its ok.. :) I wasn't using the member functions of CFile.. There is no function for appending text to a file..in CFile (..I suppose).. How do i go about it?

[Cedric Moonen]

Then you can use FILE* and open it in appending mode ("-a"). Take a look at fopen in the doc: FILE* pFile = fopen("YourFile.txt","a"); fwrite(.....); // This will append text at the end of the file

Take a look at CArchive's << operator. If the length of the CString object is >= 255 and < 0xfffe, an extra 0xff is written to the archive followed by the length of the CString object.

Insert a CR and/or LF character first.
