What is the code you are now using? It sounds like you are opening for append, which automatically prints to the end of the target file. To insert at the beginning, you will have to: open an temp output file print your insertion text to this open the existing file and pass existing text through to the replacement file. close both files rename the temp file with the original filename [you may have to delete the existing file to do this].
