Freaky

edit. I deleted my first question for those who read it, i found out how to do what i wanted "reverse the contents of a file" here: dim rtv set ff=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") set rr=ff.opentextfile("C:\Documents and Settings\Sean\Desktop\New Folder\file.txt",1) aa = rr.readall rr.close rtv = StrReverse(aa) set bb=ff.opentextfile("C:\Documents and Settings\Sean\Desktop\New Folder\file.txt",2) bb.write rtv yet i still have a problem. What i now need to do is reverse everything under the word "Dont reverse" so for example i have a file with this contents: file: Dont reverse this line! reverse this line! and so on. so anything under the words "dont reverse this line" will be reversed! hope you understand? thank you bye
