    Yes, simple! File.Write(" "), see, it's white now... :doh:

        No, not directly because a text file only contains unicode characters, which don't have color information. You could automate Wordpad or Word to write a .rtf or .doc file which can contain color information. A simpler alternative might be to define your own file header format, containing color information (and anything else you want). Then your application could read this header and display the following text in the desired color.

                You really shouldn't keep your feelings bottled up John. :-)

                  If his question was worded more precisely, I wouldn't have to hold back like that. :) File bits are color-agnostic...

                    Wow.... Do you have a flock of uni-voters around you like celebrities have paparazzi?

                      Usually you can only write in 1 color unless you can find a rainbow colored floppy disc....
