Create and write a simple text file in Excel/VBA

[Thomas Wieser]

Hi,

what is the easiest way to create a new text file, write one string into
the file and close it afterwards?


Regards, Thomas

Hi Thomas
have a look at the Write method in the VBA help (included an example
for this)

 

[JWolf]

Dim F1 As Integer
F1 = FreeFile
Open "fullpathname\filename.txt" For Output As F1
Print #F1, "Test line" 'Prints: Test Line
Print #F1, yourvariable 'Prints: the value of your variable
Print #F1, "The vaue of yourvariable is: " & yourvariable 'Prints: the
concatation of "quoted" and yourvariable
Close #F1
F1 = 0

Hi Thomas,

From Help

FileNumber = FreeFile
Open "C:\My Documents\TEST10" For Output As #FileNumber
Write #FileNumber, "This is a sample."
Close #FileNumber
