I may be misunderstanding your question, so ignore me if I am. You are
asking what WriteLine will do if the file can't handle the length of the
line to be written. I don't think this can happen. A line in a textfile is
just the first instance of CRLF. If there is not a CRLF then the line never
ends as far as the StreamReader is concerned. Can you explain an instance
that the string is too long for line to hold?
