Write Method (FileSystemObject)


object.Write(string)

object: Required. Always the name of a TextStream object.

string: Required. The text you want to write to the file.

Specified strings are written to the file with no intervening spaces or characters between each string. Use the WriteLine method to write a newline character or a string that ends with a newline character.

The following example illustrates the use of the Write method:

JScript	Copy Code
function WriteDemo() { var fso, f, r var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForWriting, true) f.Write("Hello world!"); f.Close(); f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForReading); r = f.ReadLine(); return(r); }

   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForWriting, true)
   f.Write("Hello world!");
   f.Close();
   f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForReading);
   r = f.ReadLine();
   return(r);
}

Visual Basic Script	Copy Code
Function WriteToFile Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2 Dim fso, f Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True) f.Write "Hello world!" Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading) WriteToFile = f.ReadLine End Function
