Hey GK Users.

Im trying to make a program that i'll later
release here but first off I need some help.
I need some instruction or code on how to
change an extension to .txt, replace a line
from that .txt with the text in a textbox input
then return the .txt back to its original extension.

If anyone is a VB guru and would like to help
me, please post a reply below, it would be a
huge help if you could.

Thanks a BUNCH,
[$] Parker

What are you talking about? A filedialog?

Code:

Imports System.IO

'Will auto create the TXT file if it doesnt exist.
 File.AppendAllText("Path", "Contents")

Example:

Code:

Imports System.IO
File.AppendAllText(Application.StartUpPath & "\Readme.txt",TextBox1.text)

What Iamazn said. But you know you don't need to change the extension to .txt to write to it.

Exactly. If you want to attempt to hide this text from your user, instead of
Application.StartUpPath & "\Readme.txt"
do
Application.StartUpPath & "\SomeFile.exe" 'replace .exe with any file extension you want.
