Creating a new file

[gomindi]

I am trying to create a new file that will temporarily store information from my text boxes.

 

Does somebody know the syntax to create a new file?

 

Thank you! Mindi Wright

'Create a file and write to it
       Dim f As IO.StreamWriter
       f = IO.File.CreateText(IO.Directory.GetParent( _
           Application.ExecutablePath).ToString & "\Temp.txt")

       f.Write("blah")
       f.Close()

Do you know how I can change the directory?

 

This worked, it created it in my visual studio projects/test/bin folder. But do you know how I can change this? I tried to add a different path before the \temp.txt, but that didn't work for me.

 

I really appreciate your help!

Change the Application.ExecutablePath).ToString & "\Temp.txt") bit

to something else, like 'C:\stuff\Temp.txt'. You can give it a relative

path like I did, or an absolute path.

Cool

 

Thank you!

 

Hey where did you get the posted code? Or any other "beginner" tutorials out there to help me with Files?

 

thanks! Mindi

I read the MSDN :) It should have been installed with .NET if you

chose to install it.
