How to dump text into a .txt file ?.

[jackyjoy123]

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:

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..."
6. Close #1
7. Print "MyFile.txt is filed."
