Hi Do you want to add a new line of text between the existing lines and at a certain line number or what. Will the text contain "<" or ">" as this may cause some problems.

Hi It's not possible from a command line you are only able to create a new file or append to an existing one. ie echo "text" > File (New File created) echo "Text" >> File (Append to existing File")
What you need is a batch file, do you need to add the line at the same line number every time or doe's this change.

ok, thanks for the info.. I just wanted to know if it was possible. I think that there would be no use to create a batch file as I am limited to use cmd with parameters.. like this: cmd.exe /k echo "text" >>File
