File.CreateText Method
The File.CreateText method creates and opens a file for writing UTF-8 encoded text. If file already exists, this method opens the file.
The following code snippet creates a file using the CreateText method that returns a StreamWriter object. The WriteLine method of SteamLine can be used to add line text to the object and writes to the file.
// Full file name
string fileName = @"C:\Temp\MaheshTX.txt";
try
{
// Check if file already exists. If yes, delete it.
if (File.Exists(fileName))
{
File.Delete(fileName);
}
// Create a new file
using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(fileName))
{
sw.WriteLine("New file created: {0}", DateTime.Now.ToString());
sw.WriteLine("Author: Mahesh Chand");
sw.WriteLine("Add one more line ");
sw.WriteLine("Add one more line ");
sw.WriteLine("Done! ");
}
// Write file contents on console.
using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(fileName))
{
string s = "";
while ((s = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}
catch (Exception Ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(Ex.ToString());
}
