Title: How to dump text into a .txt file ?.
Post by: jackyjoy123 on March 15, 2021, 11:26:14 am
Hello,

I know how to write values to binary files, but I would like to create actual text output that I could then copy over to a word processor.  Is there a way to do this easily?


thanks

If you’re used to BINARY files, you can just PUT your text to the file and append a CHR$(10) after it.

text$ = “Hello World”
PUT #1, , text$ + CHR$(10)


A second method is just to open for OUTPUT and then PRINT to the file.

OPEN “temp.txt” FOR OUTPUT AS #1
text$ = “Hello World”
PRINT #1, text$
CLOSE

Many ways to dump text into file:

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1.  
  2. Open "MyFile.txt" For Output As #1
  3. Print #1, "Whatever for line 1"
  4. Print #1, "This for line #2"
  5. Print #1, "ect..."
  7. Print "MyFile.txt is filed."
  8.
