SharedMethod

TextOutputStream.Append

---

Warning

This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use TextOutputStream.Open as a replacement.

Description

Opens the passed file so that text can be appended to existing text.

Notes

If no file exists at the specified location, one is created. If the file cannot be created or opened for appending, an IOException is raised. The append is done by calling Write or WriteLine. The Append shared method replaces the deprecated FolderItem.AppendToTextFile.

Sample code

This example appends the text in TextField1 to the text file that was opened by FolderItem.ShowOpenFileDialog:

Dim f As FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem(FileTypes1.Text)
If f <> Nil Then
  Try
    Dim t As TextOutputStream = TextOutputStream.Append(f)
    t.Write(TextField1.Text)
  Catch e As IOException
    ' handle error
  End Try
End If

Compatibility

All project types on all supported operating systems.
