Writing to a text file

Writing to a text file

• Herbert Wang

  Hi,

  You can use the sample code snipplet.

  Note that LogData is a string variable and LogFile is a string variable pointing to the path of the file.

  Dim objStreamWriter As StreamWriter

  objStreamWriter = New StreamWriter(LogFile, True, Encoding.Unicode)

  objStreamWriter.WriteLine(LogData)

  objStreamWriter.Close()

  objStreamWriter = Nothing

  You have to make sure that you close the stream before the program ends or you will end up with a blank file.
  
  Dim sw as new IO.StreamWriter("C:\myFile.txt")
  
  sw.WriteLine("This is a line of text")
  
  sw.Close()

  Dim tempFile As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetTempFileName

  Dim sw As New IO.StreamWriter(New IO.FileStream(tempFile, IO.FileMode.Open Or IO.FileMode.CreateNew))

  sw.WriteLine("hello")

  you can use FileStream to control how you want to open file (Open file, create new file... etc)
