Creating a file with VB?

[JustinSampson]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone new how to create a new file in Visual Basic 6. The name will come from a variable and the content's will come from a variable. I can't find any tutorials on how to do it, the only ones I found were how to open, edit, and save files.

Thanks for the help,
Justin Sampson

Easiest way would be to use the filesystem scripting object. You can look up how to use it at the MSDN Online library.

Open Statement
If the file specified by pathname doesn't exist, it is created when a file is opened for Append, Binary, Output, or Random modes.

stuff = "Hey at MS we worship anagram Santa! Ho, Ho, Ho"
Open "c:\JunkyFile.txt" For Output As #1
Put #1, stuff
Close #1
