append to XML file

Expand Post »

I was saving some data to a new XML file using the following code

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
Public myFileName, NewFileSave As String
Dim xml As New ChilkatXml
Dim outXml As New ChilkatXml
Dim node As ChilkatXml
Dim nextNode As ChilkatXml
 
Private Sub Command47_Click()
CommonDialog1.ShowSave
NewFileSave = CommonDialog1.FileName
MsgBox NewFileSave
xml.SaveXml NewFileSave
MsgBox "Saved"
CancelButton:
Exit Sub
 
Public myFileName, NewFileSave As String
Dim xml As New ChilkatXml
Dim outXml As New ChilkatXml
Dim node As ChilkatXml
Dim nextNode As ChilkatXml
 
Private Sub Command47_Click()
CommonDialog1.ShowSave
NewFileSave = CommonDialog1.FileName
MsgBox NewFileSave
xml.SaveXml NewFileSave
MsgBox "Saved"
CancelButton:
Exit Sub

But now i also require to append the data to an existing XML file.

Can someone help me with the appending part.

Re: append to XML file

I've never heard of the ChilkatXml object before.... I'm guessing it's a module that perhaps you installed.... you might want to check the documentation on it, I'm sure it has an option for appending data. In VB, you can open a file for appending as such:

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
open filename for append as #1
open filename for append as #1

Re: append to XML file

Yes i have installed the ChilkatXml module.

I have checked the documentation of ChilkatXml but could not get much on the appending part.

Have tried

open filename for append as #1

but in my application it is not working and is overwriting the exisitng file.

Is there any other method by which i can append to a file ???

Thanks.

Re: append to XML file

Only if you want to get crazy, and try to do it through a dos command line...say, using shell, or making a batch file, and then shelling the batch file. Opening a file for append should never over-write anything, unless there is already nothing there. Appending a file means literally to add to the end of. I suppose you could post your code that appends, so we can check it out.
