    Talking Writing 4 or more strings to a single line in a text file

    Hi everyone!

    I've got my self in to a pickle here.

    I'm trying to do something I used to do in basic? At-least I think you can do this in Basic, you know Qbasic, lol

    What I'm trying to do is put 4-8 strings on to one line separated by a comma.

    Example might be:

    writer.writeline (bob1, bob2, bob3, bob4)

    Out put might look like

    Test, Test2, Test3, Test4

    I'm tried looking in to formatting of writeline/write, but I didn't get any where with it.

    Also if this is possible- I would like to be able to read it just like :

    reader.readline (Rbob1, Rbob2, Rbob3, Rbob4)



    If anyone cold just point me in the right direction, I'm sure I can figure it out - If not... Well I will ask another question.
    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Are "writer" and "reader" file streams? Are you creating a console application or a windows forms application?

    Thank you for your reply.

    I'm in the middle of building or creating a Windows (GUI) based program. I'm not going to lie, I'm not 100% sure what reader/writer stream actually is.
    The code I was trying to use for this looked something like this or atleast the dim statement did:

    Dim objwriter as new system.io.streamwriter ("C:\bla.txt")

    You can use formatting when you write to a StreamWriter.
    Code:
    objWriter.Write("{0}, {1}, {2}", string1, string2, string3)
    For more information look up the definition at MSDN, you'll find it here.

    For more information about string formatting look up the String.Format method.
