Create fixed length text file

I have to create a fixed length text file and was hoping
someone could point me to an example or resources that
could help explain how it is done in C#.

Thanks.

Hi Darin,

Why don't you just write preffered number of (byte)0 values or spaces to the
file?

What format does your file have to take? I would just create an in-memory
data structure that represents the data you want to write out, then write
that structure to disk when the time comes.
