# Write# Statement

Writes data to a sequential text file with delimiting characters.

Use Print# statement to print data to a sequential text file. Use Put# statement to write data to a binary or a random file.

### Syntax:

    Write [#fileNum] {,|;} expression [, …]

### Parameters:

fileNum: Any numeric expression that contains the file number that was set by the Open statement for the respective file.

expression list: Variables or expressions that you want to enter in a file, separated by commas.

If the expression list is omitted, the \<emph\>Write#\</emph\> statement appends an empty line to the file.

To add an expression list to a new or an existing file, the file must be opened in the \<emph\>Output\</emph\> or \<emph\>Append\</emph\> mode.

The \<emph\>Write#\</emph\> statement enters data that is enclosed by quotation marks and separated by commas into a file. You do not need to use delimiters in the list. The end of a file created with the \<emph\>Write#\</emph\> statement is indicated by a line end symbol.

Each Write statement outputs a line end symbol as last entry.

Numbers with decimal delimiters are converted according to the locale settings.

### Example:

      Sub ExampleWrite
          Dim iCount As Integer
          Dim sValue As String
          iCount = Freefile
          Open "C:\Users\ThisUser\data.txt" For Output As iCount
          sValue = "Hamburg"
          Write #iCount,sValue,200
          sValue = "New York"
          Write #iCount,sValue,300
          sValue = "Miami"
          Write #iCount,sValue,450
          Close #iCount
      End Sub

      Sub ExampleWrite
          Dim iCount As Integer
          Dim sValue As String
          iCount = Freefile
          Open "~/data.txt" For Output As iCount
          sValue = "Hamburg"
          Write #iCount,sValue,200
          sValue = "New York"
          Write #iCount,sValue,300
          sValue = "Miami"
          Write #iCount,sValue,450
          Close #iCount
      End Sub
