I've created a data text file with Streamwriter which ends with a terminator line of text. How do I remove the terminator line of text and append to that file then adding the terminator line of text at the end of the new appended section?

Thanks

Thanks for that. I'm still a bit of a beginner so I'll need to do a bit of homework on the Stringbuilder Class. I've already had a quick look at the MSDN Library topic.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
