Wordpad is quite unaware of the file once it has       opened it. It doesn't lock it, it keeps it in memory. You can even       delete the file you are editing and wordpad will carry on as if it's       still there.        If you try to re-load a changed file, it will load the one in       memory , not the changed one on disk. I'd consider using another       editor.               Atlantis will lock the file, and not allow your program to       write to it. Notepad++ will ask you if you want to reload the changed       file or keep the file in memory(unchanged). If you "save", the one on       disk will be overwritten.               Still not sure what you are trying to do.        []'s               --       Don't be evil - Google 2004       We have a new policy - Google 2012       Google Fuchsia - 2021              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
