Description This command re-routes data printed to the Output window into a designated text file. If the specified file already exists, the contents are overwritten. The companion command, SetTextFileOff must be issued to terminate the printing to the text file.
Syntax SetTextFile fname, fileOnly
Parameters fname As String The full path of the file to be written to. Alternatively "stdout" can be used to send FRED's text window output to the Windows operating system standard output.
fileOnly As Boolean Set this variable to True if output is to be directed only to the file. False allows printing to the output window and text file.
Example The following example specifies a text file and redirects output to both the output window and the text file.
Sub Main
Dim fName As String fName = "C:\temp\textOutput.txt"
SetTextFile fName, False Print "This" Print "is" Print "some" Print "text" Print "4 + 4 = " & 4+4 SetTextFileOff
End Sub
