Folder.CreateTextFile(textfilename[, overwrite[, unicode]])

Creates a text file with textfilename inside the folder, and returns a TextStream object, which allows you to use the TextStream object's methods/properties on it. [overwrite] indicates whether the file should be overwritten if it exists (true or false), and unicode indicates whether the file should be created in unicode or ascii (true for unicode)
<% '***************** CreateTextFile Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set folderObject = fso.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("\fso") & "\") Set textStreamObject = folderObject.CreateTextFile("testfile.txt",true,false) textStreamObject.WriteLine("a new text file") textStreamObject.Close ' remember to close it so that it writes the file Set textStreamObject = Nothing Set folderObject = Nothing Set fso = Nothing ' Creates a text file called "testfile.txt" in the folder, overwrites if it exists ' and sets it to ascii (false to indicate not unicode). Then write "a new text file" ' to the testfile.txt, and closes it ' NB remember the trailing slash in the GetFolder method %>
