insert a line into the top of text file

Hi,

I am trying to log alarms of a system.  How can I write the latest alarm info onto the top of a text file every time an alarm is triggered?

1. Read file into a string.
2. Prepend the string you want to add to the contents of the file.
3. Write the new string out to the file.

You can't "insert" text into a text file and have it automatically shift the contents "down".

Another possibility that I read is to play games with reversing the string.
