Visual Basic .NET Language File Handling Write Data to a File
Example
To write the contents of a string to a file:
Dim toWrite As String = "This will be written to the file."
System.IO.File.WriteAllText("filename.txt", toWrite)
WriteAllText will open the specified file, write the data, and then close the file. If the target file exists, it is overwritten. If the target file does not exist, it is created.
To write the contents of an array to a file:
Dim toWrite As String() = {"This", "Is", "A", "Test"}
System.IO.File.WriteAllLines("filename.txt", toWrite)
WriteAllLines will open the specified file, write each value of the array on a new line, and then close the file. If the target file exists, it is overwritten. If the target file does not exist, it is created.
