Arguments

The property and method arguments can be any of the properties and methods associated with the TextStream object. Note that in actual usage, TextStream is replaced by a variable placeholder representing the TextStream object returned from the FileSystemObject.

Remarks

In the following code, a is the TextStream object returned by the CreateTextFile method on the FileSystemObject:

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

var a = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", true);

a.WriteLine("This is a test.");

a.Close();
Dim fso, MyFile

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set MyFile= fso.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True)

MyFile.WriteLine("This is a test.")

MyFile.Close

WriteLine and Close are two methods of the TextStream object.
