WriteString method: File class

Syntax

WriteString(string)

Description

The WriteString method writes one string of text to the output file associated with the file object executing this method, without any newline character. Each string written extends the current line in the file.

You can start a new line by using the WriteLine method to write the last part of the current line. WriteLine always adds a newline character appropriate to the platform where the file is being written, whether you supply a character string of any length, or a null string.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
string	A string variable containing the text to be written.

Returns

None.

Example

The following example opens an empty file, writes two lines of text to it without a final newline, and closes it:

&MYFILE.Open("somefile.txt", "W");
&MYFILE.WriteString("This is the first ");
&MYFILE.WriteString("line in the file.");
&MYFILE.WriteLine("");
&MYFILE.WriteString("This second line is not terminated.");
&MYFILE.Close();
