Since the FileInsertLine & WriteProfString do not work properly with text files > 1024K, how can I add sections to this text files?  Can I used the binary manipulation functions with text files?

The file in question is a .ini file that is 68,000k in size.

Thanks-

Well, do you mean 68 kB (or 68000 Bytes) ???
The functions do work with file > 1024 Byte, but the lines have to be <= 1024 Bytes !!!

So there will be no problem editing a large ini file if the lines are not larger than a thousand letters (and spaces and ...).

Okay, here's a better explaniation of what is happening...

When I use the FileInsertLine, WriteProfString or ReplaceProfString with an unedited version of my .ini file, the functions fail.  There are lines in the .ini that are very long, but the lines I am replacing are well under 30 bytes long.  

When I remove the lines from the .ini file that are very long, the functions seem to work correctly.

So what I need to know is how do I write to these files if the lines exceed the limits?

The documentation of IS6 says, GetProfString returns -2 if the line exceeds 2048 characters ...
WriteProfString and WriteLine in IS6 do not give information about max line length.

btw: posting the problem twice returns less than twice the number of answers ...
