System.IO.File class provides static methods for the creation, copying, deletion, moving, and opening of files, and aids in the creation of FileStream objects.
The CreateText method creates or opens a file for writing UTF-8 encoded text.
The following example demonstrates some of the main members of the File class.
Dim pathStr
Dim sysIoFile, sw
pathStr = "c:\MyTest.txt"
Set sysIoFile = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance( "System.IO.File" )
If CBool( sysIoFile.Exists( pathStr ) ) = False Then
' ** Create a file to write to.
Set sw = sysIoFile.CreateText( pathStr )
sw.WriteLine("Hello")
sw.WriteLine("And")
sw.WriteLine("Welcome")
sw.Flush()
sw.Close()
End If
Set sw = Nothing : Set sysIoFile = Nothing
