Hey all,

I'm trying to write to the 1st line continously in a DO...LOOP, but instead it just writes line after line. I also tried using the SEEK command..I guess used that for the wrong use, it just leaves boxes. Here's my code

Code:
OPEN "testing.dat" FOR APPEND AS #1

DO

pie = int(rnd * 50) + 1

WRITE #1, pie

LOOP while inkey$ = ""

END

'thats the loop that writes line after line

OPEN "testing.dat" FOR APPEND AS #1

DO

pie = int(rnd * 50) + 1

SEEK #1, 1 'this doesnt leave it at the first line, does it?

WRITE #1, pie

LOOP while inkey$ = ""

END

 'thats the loop that leaves black boxes..

So...anyone know how to solve my problem here...I'm trying to write on line, preferrably using commas between each pie variable..thanks!

Code:
OPEN "testing.dat" FOR APPEND AS #1 

first = 1

DO 

  pie = int(rnd * 50) + 1 

  IF first THEN

    first = 0

  ELSE

    PRINT #1, ",";

  END IF

  PRINT #1, pie;

LOOP while inkey$ = "" 

CLOSE #1

END

Thanks a lot Plasma!
