Archive: Adding to a text file


Adding to a text file
Basically, as an end step to my installation, I want to add some text to the end of a file that already exists. I'm a little flaky on how to do this.


FileOpen $0 "c:\progra~1\javawe~1\javaws.cfg" a
FileSeek $0 0 END
FileWrite $0 "javaws.whenInstall=1"
FileClose $0

Is this right, not right, etc.


Yes, should work, but be carefull when specifying this absolute path. On the destination computer javawe~1 might not be the right dir. Eg.: when the program has actually been installed to javawe~2 or on some completely other drive or dir. Use some regentry of the main program to find this dir with long or short name.
