Writing a text files

Dim oFile as System.IO.File

Dim oWrite as System.IO.StreamWriter
oWrite = oFile.CreateText(“C:\sample.txt”)

oWrite.WriteLine(“Write a line to the file”)

oWrite.WriteLine()  

oWrite.Close()

Reading text files

Dim intSingleChar as Integer

 Dim cSingleChar as String

 oRead = oFile.OpenText(-C:\sample.txt")

 While oRead.Peek <> -1

 intSingleChar = oRead.Read()

 ' Convert the integer value into a character

 cSingleChar = Chr(intSingleChar)

 End While
