Writing to a text file

Writing to a text file

• Alan Pa

  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)

  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

  My system says that "my" is not defined.

  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()
