Appending the content of a text file to another text file

Dec 17th, 2008

Hello there, I've been busy nowadays with file manipulation and I've so far I've encountered a small problem in appending the contents of a file to another file. This is what I did:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
 
string filename = @"C:\Temp.txt";
string body = null;
StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(files); 
body = sr.ReadToEnd();
StreamWriter sw = File.Create(filename);
sw.WriteLine(body);
 
sr = File.OpenText(files2);
body = sr.ReadToEnd();
File.AppendAllText(filename, body);
 
sw.Close();
string filename = @"C:\Temp.txt";
string body = null;
StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(files); 
body = sr.ReadToEnd();
StreamWriter sw = File.Create(filename);
sw.WriteLine(body);

sr = File.OpenText(files2);
body = sr.ReadToEnd();
File.AppendAllText(filename, body);

sw.Close();

It seems that I can't append the content of files2 to my Temp.txt file after placing the contents of files. Please help. Thanks.

Why not just do the writeline of body you read from the second file?

Did I just hear "You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas" ? Is this you? Dont let this be you! I will put in as much effort as you seem to.
