Batch Programming or VBScripting

In Batch Programming and VBScripting i will input info into a document; but it adds the info to the end of the last info of the document, how can i make it put it on the lower line?

Windows Hosts File Example:

Original File

127.0.0.1 localhost

After The Data

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 testsite.com ( Lower line )

Wrong Data

127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 testsite.com

Hmmm, probably the original document misses a Carriage return/Line feed as last character.

Send a CR+LF before adding the data, BATCH example

ECHO. >>thedoc.ext
ECHO 127.0.0.1 testsite.com >>thedoc.ext

or maybe easier :

(ECHO.
ECHO 127.0.0.1 testsite.com
) >>thedoc.ext

You shouldn't be trying to alter the output command, you should be fixing the file!

Something like this should fix the file.

@Echo off&Pushd %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc
More HOSTS>HOSTS.bak&&(Del HOSTS&&Ren HOSTS.bak HOSTS)
