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 appended.  The companion command, SetTextFileOff must be issued to terminate the printing to the text file.

 

Syntax

SetTextFileAppend filename, fileOnly

 

Parameters

fname As String

The full path of file to append text.

 

fileOnly As Boolean

Set this variable to True if output is to be directed to the file only. False allows FRED to print to the output window and text file.

 

Examples

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"

 

    SetTextFileAppend fName, False

    Print "This"

    Print "is"

    Print "some"

    Print "text"

    Print "4 + 4 = " & 4+4

    SetTextFileOff

 

End Sub
