The Print command prints your strings and numbers exactly as you would expect them to appear in Excel. You can use the Print command or the Write command. There are two ways to write content to a line in a file. Remember this number! This is how you’ll tell VBA which file to write to. In the example above, I gave it the number 1. The FileNumber is a unique number you give your file. If you want to append text to the end of an existing file, you would change the keyword Output to Append There are other options you can use with the Open statement that would prevent this, but we won’t get into them here. In the most basic terms, you need to pass the Open statement a file name with the directory path, a mode telling VBA what you want to do with the file, and an integer which tells VBA how you want to refer to the file.įor writing to a new file, the format looks like thisīy declaring the mode as Output, VBA will overwrite any file that exists with that name already.
The open statement tells VBA you’re ready for file I/O (input/output). Notice the Open statement near the top of the macro. You want to write this data to a text file, called FundPrices.txt. Let’s pretend you have a spreadsheet with the following mutual fund prices: To help you make macros like this, we built a free VBA Developer Kit and wrote the Big Book of Excel VBA Macros full of hundreds of pre-built macros to help you master file I/O, arrays, strings and more - grab your free copy below.
