Usage

A value of zero (0) for width indicates there is no line length limit. The default width for a file is zero (0).

Example

This example puts five spaces and the string ABCD into a file. The five spaces are derived by taking 15 Mod 10, or the remainder of dividing 15 by 10.

Sub Button_Click
   Dim str1 as String
   Dim x as String * 10
   str1 = "ABCD"
   Open "C:\TEMP001" For Output As #1
   Width #1, 10
   Print #1, Spc(15); str1
   Close #1
   Open "c:\temp001" as #1 Len = 12
   Get #1, 1,x
   Close #1
   Kill "c:\temp001"
End Sub
