ASP Getting Started Tutorial-Creating a text file

First, the steps to create a text file are as follows:

1, create FileSystemObject object instance;

　　　 <% Set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") %>

2, create TextStream object instance;

　　　 <% txtFile=fso.CreateTextFile(filename[,overwrite[,unicode]]) %>

3, use the method of TextStream object to write to the file.

After you use the CreateTextFile method to create a text file, you can write to the file by using the method of the TextStream object, mainly in the following ways:

1 Write a string to the TextStream file using the Write method, with the following syntax:

txtFile.Write(string)

Where txtfile is a required parameter and should be the name of the Textsteam file object. String is an optional parameter that specifies the text to be written to the file.

2 write the specified string and new line characters to the TextStream file using the WriteLine method, in the following syntax format:

txtFile.WriteLine(string)

Where txtfile is a required parameter and should be the name of the Textsteam file object. String is an optional parameter that specifies the text to be written to the file. If omitted, new line characters are written to the file.

3 Use the WriteBlankLines method to write a specified number of new line characters in the TextStream file in the following syntax format:

txtFile.WriteBlankLines(lines)

Where txtfile is a required parameter and should be the name of the Textsteam file object. Lines is also a required parameter, specifying the number of new line characters to write to the file.

4 Closes the open TextStream file using the Close method, with the following syntax:

txtFile.Close
