FSO.OpenTextFile(filename[, inputOuputMode[, createNewFile[, textFileFormat]]])

Opens filename and returns a TextStream object,which allows you to use the TextStream object's methods/properties on it. inputOutPutMode can be: 1 - for reading, 2 - for writing, 8 - for appending. createNewFile should be true if you want to create a new text file if filename doesn't exist. textFileFormat can be one of 3 values: -2 - uses default system type, -1 - creates the textfile in unicode format, 0 - creates the textfile in ascii format.
<% '***************** OpenTextFile Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set textStreamObject = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.Mappath("\") & "\textfile.txt",2,true,0) textStreamObject.WriteLine("howdy world") textStreamObject.Close ' Make sure you close it or it won't write it!! Set textStreamObject = Nothing Set fso = Nothing ' This opens textfile.txt for writing, creates the file if it doesn't exist, and sets it to ascii format ' and then write "howdy world" to the file %>
