Maybe it's better you give us the lines you are using in your program to read and write the line. Then we should be able to see where the bug sits :-) Did you try the File functions to do this? These should work without any headache: File.Read and File.Write. Look them up in the help. If you prefer to open a stream for file writing, there are more things to be considered, best is you give us an idea of what you have written there...
