Erase and replace

Here is what I have at the moment

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\SaverSupreme\ScreeenFile.txt", lstTheme.SelectedItem, True)

This is ok, but what I want is when the user clicks a new SelectedItem from the listbox the old entry is erased and replaced with the new one.

I thought of Append but I think that only adds to what is already on file.

    Thanks for the Help and Advice.

    indeed the append will do that, sorry, what exactly do you want to do remove the file or overwrite it

  • dpeeth

    By ommitting or setting the append argument to false the WriteAllText will overwrite the file with the new string...

    My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\SaverSupreme\ScreeenFile.txt", lstTheme.SelectedItem)

    or

    My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\SaverSupreme\ScreeenFile.txt", lstTheme.SelectedItem, False)
