Have to test it further, when I run the command it prints the correct output on screen, although the file itself isn't altered.
Thanks for the info, have to test it further tomorrow as it is 02:30 in the morning here in the Netherlands and work starts at 08:00.. If you have any idea's I love to hear them. Thanks again |
