FSO - Is this possible?

Hi.. I'm using FSO to write data to a file... each time the user
clicks a button, it uses the WriteLine method to write the data. I
want to put in an Undo button, which will remove the last line that
was written to the file.... Is this possible to do using FSO?

Thanks!

Basically, you read the file into memory, remove the line there, and then
re-create the file with the line missing. For a thorough tutorial, work

Sarah!! i didn't get the complete picture of what problem you are
having... Aaron is right that you should load the whole file first and
then remove last line and then rewrite the updated contents again to the
file....
