Print

Print

Writes formatted text to an open sequential file. The output format mirrors what the Print statement produces on screen.

Syntax

Print #fileNumber [, outputList]

Parameters

• fileNumber: The file number used when the file was opened with Open.
• outputList: One or more values to write, optionally separated by , or ;.

Output separators

Separator	Effect
, (comma)	Advances to the next print zone (column multiple of 14)
; (semicolon)	Writes the next value immediately adjacent, with no spacing
(none)	Writes the value followed by a newline

Remarks

• The file must be opened in Output or Append mode.
• Strings are written without surrounding quotes. Use Write # instead if you need quoted, comma-delimited output suitable for re-reading with Input #.
• A trailing ; suppresses the newline at the end of the line.

Example

Dim fileNum As Integer
fileNum = FreeFile
Open "report.txt" For Output As #fileNum

Print #fileNum, "Name", "Score"   ' Tab-separated columns
Print #fileNum, "Alice", 95
Print #fileNum, "Bob", 87

Close #fileNum
