VBScript » FileSystemObject » CreateTextFile
Version: 2.0
- Syntax:
- object.CreateTextFile filename [,overwrite[, unicode]]
- filename
- Receives a string containing the name of the new text file that will be created.
- overwrite
- The optional overwrite parameter returns a Boolean value - True (the default) permits overwriting of existing files while False does not.
- unicode
- The optional parameter, unicode, is a Boolean. In this case, True creates a Unicode file and False (the default) creates an AscII file.
Creates a text file and returns a TextStreamObject that can then be used to write to and read from the file.
Examples
Code:
<%
dim filesys, filetxt, getname, path
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set filetxt = filesys.CreateTextFile("c:\somefile.txt", True)
path = filesys.GetAbsolutePathName("c:\somefile.txt")
getname = filesys.GetFileName(path)
filetxt.WriteLine("Your text goes here.")
filetxt.Close
If filesys.FileExists(path) Then
Response.Write ("Your file, '" getname "', has been created.")
End If
%>Output:
"Your file, 'somefile.txt', has been created."
