Re: Export Data to Notepad

Jan 4th, 2009

This Site will help you out a great deal. The best way to do this is something like:

 Help with Code Tags 
 vb.net Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Dim oFile as System.IO.File
Dim oWrite as System.IO.StreamWriter
oWrite = oFile.CreateText(“C:\sample.txt”)
oWrite.WriteLine(“{0,10}{1,10}{2,25}”, “Date”, “Time”, “Price”)
oWrite.WriteLine(“{0,10:dd MMMM}{0,10:hh:mm tt}{1,25:C}”, Now(), 13455.33)
oWrite.Close()
Dim oFile as System.IO.File
Dim oWrite as System.IO.StreamWriter
oWrite = oFile.CreateText(“C:\sample.txt”)
oWrite.WriteLine(“{0,10}{1,10}{2,25}”, “Date”, “Time”, “Price”)
oWrite.WriteLine(“{0,10:dd MMMM}{0,10:hh:mm tt}{1,25:C}”, Now(), 13455.33)
oWrite.Close()

Here, if you mess with the numbers that are inside the {}, you can adjust exactly where in the text file you want the data to go....If this solution doesn't work (but it should) we can try one more (ugly) way.
