Write and Writeline Method in VB script

We can use VB script to create a text file and write some lines in the text file using the File System Object.

Write Method

Write Method writes a line and the cursor is placed at the end of the line and the next line will be continued from the end of the first line. Write Method writes a specified string to a Text Stream file.

The Syntax of the Write Method is

object.Write(string)

Example: To write a script to print 10 lines.

'Create a text file and write some lines into it
'Step 1: Create and object variable to interact with the File system object
set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject")

'Step 2: Create the test file.
set fil = fso.CreateTextFile("F:\Test1.txt")

'Step 3: Writing the lines into the file using For Loop
For i = 1 to 10
fil.Write ("This is line "&i)
Next

When the script is executed it displays the 10 lines like this.

This is line 1This is line 2This is line 3This is line 4This is line 5This is line 6This is line 7This is line 8This is line 9This is line 10

WriteLine Method

WriteLine method write statements in different lines. The cursor is placed at the next Line or New Line. Writes a specified string and newline character to a TextStream file.

'Create a text file and write some lines into it
'Step 1: Create and object variable to interact with the File system object
set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject")

'Step 2: Create the test file.
set fil = fso.CreateTextFile("F:\Test1.txt")
