Writing to a text file

I am trying to write text to a disk file. I dimensioned a variable, sr, as StreamWriter and used the line sr.WriteLine(strPage) to write the text to the file but all it does is open an empty file and does not write the text to the file. I know there is something in strPage because I also write it to a textbox on my form. Can someone please help

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()

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
