Please be specific. What do you mean with "add entries" and "edit existing entries"? Add to or edit what?

well if I add simple path of the file it will open file directly as I'm typing message in this body it is same like that in that webmin. All I wanted to to is it appear as button let say add now having feilds like

MAc address:
IP address:
user name:
date:

after filling out all of them when click on add. it will append the entry at bottom of last entry . same as one button for show users and one for search to search existing user for update , he can not delete any entry from that file . hope you understand what I mean now.

Sorry. I haven't got a clue.

@Net_Spy,

unSpawn is much more polite than I am.

Do you follow up the threads you post? It seems not, because I have read them.

You ask a question, receive advice and then just go away. Where's the "Thanks, that fixed the problem for me" or "That didn't work, but this happened instead..... " ?

We are not here to answer your questions because you feel we should give you all the answers.

Have you anything to contribute?. No knowledge perhaps, but a "thanks" or follow-up post might be appreciated.
