Writing Data to CSV File

Bachrock · Apr 11, 2013

Hi,

I would like to write data to a CSV File. For Example "1,ABC123,500,Test,50"

Any good examples on how I could write that line of Data to the very end or bottom of a CSV File?

Also I would like to go to the bottom or End Of File to place this data as an append to the data already residing in the file.

Thanks,

Paul

OK, Paul, here is a small example:

B4X:

Dim MyTextWriter As TextWriter
'Line below assumes text file located in rootexternal. It will be created if not exist
MyTextWriter.Initialize(File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal, "bashrock.csv",True))
MyTextWriter.WriteLine("1,ABC123,500,Test,50")
MyTextWriter.Close

You can also read the file with StringUtils.LoadCSV. Add the last line and save it with StringUtils.SaveCSV.

The advantage is that the file will be properly formatted (handling fields with the commas for example).
