how to write a full script into a txt file c# code example
Example 1: c# create a text file
//File and path you want to create and write to
string fileName = @"C:\Temp\Temp.txt";
//Check if the file exists
if (!File.Exists(fileName))
{
// Create the file and use streamWriter to write text to it.
//If the file existence is not check, this will overwrite said file.
//Use the using block so the file can close and vairable disposed correctly
using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(fileName))
{
writer.WriteLine("Hello World");
}
}
Example 2: c# write file
class WriteTextFile
{
static void Main()
{
// These examples assume a "C:\Users\Public\TestFolder" folder on your machine.
// You can modify the path if necessary.
// Example #1: Write an array of strings to a file.
// Create a string array that consists of three lines.
string[] lines = { "First line", "Second line", "Third line" };
// WriteAllLines creates a file, writes a collection of strings to the file,
// and then closes the file. You do NOT need to call Flush() or Close().
System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(@"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\WriteLines.txt", lines);
// Example #2: Write one string to a text file.
string text = "A class is the most powerful data type in C#. Like a structure, " +
"a class defines the data and behavior of the data type. ";
// WriteAllText creates a file, writes the specified string to the file,
// and then closes the file. You do NOT need to call Flush() or Close().
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\WriteText.txt", text);
// Example #3: Write only some strings in an array to a file.
// The using statement automatically flushes AND CLOSES the stream and calls
// IDisposable.Dispose on the stream object.
// NOTE: do not use FileStream for text files because it writes bytes, but StreamWriter
// encodes the output as text.
using (System.IO.StreamWriter file =
new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\WriteLines2.txt"))
{
foreach (string line in lines)
{
// If the line doesn't contain the word 'Second', write the line to the file.
if (!line.Contains("Second"))
{
file.WriteLine(line);
}
}
}
// Example #4: Append new text to an existing file.
// The using statement automatically flushes AND CLOSES the stream and calls
// IDisposable.Dispose on the stream object.
using (System.IO.StreamWriter file =
new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\WriteLines2.txt", true))
{
file.WriteLine("Fourth line");
}
}
}
//Output (to WriteLines.txt):
// First line
// Second line
// Third line
//Output (to WriteText.txt):
// A class is the most powerful data type in C#. Like a structure, a class defines the data and behavior of the data type.
//Output to WriteLines2.txt after Example #3:
// First line
// Third line
//Output to WriteLines2.txt after Example #4:
// First line
// Third line
// Fourth line
Example 3: c# console save file
FileStream filestream = new FileStream("out.txt", FileMode.Create);
var streamwriter = new StreamWriter(filestream);
streamwriter.AutoFlush = true;
Console.SetOut(streamwriter);
Console.SetError(streamwriter);
