Write #FileNumber, [Expression]
Writes data to a file.
The file must have been already opened with the Open statement in Output or Append mode.
FileNumber is the number assigned to the file by the Open statement.
Expression consists of one or more elements to output.
If Expression is omitted, an empty line is output. Please note that in this case you still need to add a trailing comma to the command (e.g., Write #1,).
Example:
Sub Main
Open "TESTFILE" For Output As #1 ' Create file
userData1$ = InputBox("Enter one text line.")
userData2$ = InputBox("Enter one more text line.")
Write #1, userData1, userData2 ' Write data
Close #1
Open "TESTFILE" for Input As #2 ' Open file
Print "File contents:"
Do While Not EOF(2)
Line Input #2, FileData ' Read line
Print FileData
Loop
Close #2 ' Close file
Kill "TESTFILE" ' Delete file
End Sub
