The WriteString function writes a list of string expressions to a file that was previously opened with OpenWrite. It does not write the windows end-of-line character like WriteLine does. If multiple parameters are passed, they are not separated by commas, so you can control the exact characters being output.

 

Syntax:

fileManager.WriteString( fileNumber [, expression] [,expression2] [,etc...] )

 

Parameter:

fileNumber

The file number, when more than one file has been opened.

[ expression]

[,expression2]

[,etc...]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  '  Write out the line to the current file.
