Write( )

The write() statement writes the specified text to a new file name and/or location
on the current drive. If an output file already exists, the source file contents are
appended to the end of the existing file.

Waveform

write(”output_filename”, ”text” [,”text” ...])

”output_filename” is the complete file name (path, file name, and extension) to
the file that you want to write. The file must be located on the active drive. The
argument can include a relative or absolute path name. Enclose the file name in
double quotation marks.

”text” is the text string enclosed in double quotation marks. If you need to use a
double quotation mark as part of the text, precede each double quotation
character with a slash character (\). For example:

”This function writes a text to a \”ABC.TXT\” in text form.”

In a similar way, the following codes can be used in text strings:

\n

LF

\r

CR

\t

Tab

\\

Backslash

\”

Double-quote

write(”sine.wfm”, ”This is comment line.”)
