Hi there, Can some one tell me how I can append text to the last line of a text file? I need to be able to have text added right after text that is currently on a text document. I am using: echo my text>>test.txt
I am getting this text showing up at the end of a text docmument like this: example1 my text
I need this data to actually be set like this: example1my text
can anybody help me out with this? or tell me if there is a way to specify what line to put this text on?

Difficult, at best, with DOS.
With NT CMD.exe, life gets easier.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

The problem is if the appended part appears on the next line, then you can't append. The file end with a new line command which has to be deleted so the appended part can appear on the same line.
My prefered method would be to write a utility program to test the line ending and rewrite the file as needed.
