Append vs Overwrite

[vpe88]

Hi experts,

I'm running in Windows 7, DotNet 2010 with VPE v6.10 Professional.

My scenario:
Say VPEFileName is fixed, and I'll never delete the physical file.

Sample CODE:
*************************************************************************************
VPE.Write(......);
VPE.Write(......);
VPE.Write(......);
VPE.Write(......);
VPE.Write(......);

VPEFileName = "C:\HelloWorld.VPE";
VPE.WriteDoc(VPEFileName);
*************************************************************************************

First written to the VPE file has everything gone perfectly.. but for the subsequently writes, every time the content will be appended into the existing one, rather than fully overwritten the content in the VPE file.

Is that something I can do such code instruction to always overwrites the previous contents in the same file name VPE File?
Thanks in advance.

This is a feature, which allows to easily assemble multiple documents to a single huge document file. If you do not wish this behavior, simply delete the document file before calling WriteDoc().

I actually tried the workaround earlier by just added 1 line code to do deletion, but the subsequent VPE.WriteDoc written empty content, the created VPE file is empty.

When you call WriteDoc( <file-name> ) and there does not exist a file under the given name, a new file is created.

If no file is created, you are doing something wrong. Check permissions, etc.
