I want to write a simple string in a text file using the stream writer class,But it doesn't seem to work(and there are no errors).here's my code:
StreamWriter test = new StreamWriter("mytext.txt", true);
// used the below code too to create the file. It didn't work either!
//StreamWriter test = File.CreateText("mytext.txt");
test.WriteLine("hello");
when I run this code,nothing will be added to the text file!Where did I go wrong?(ps:I used the full path file names too!but it didn't work!)
using(StreamWriter test = new StreamWriter("mytext.txt", true)){
test.WriteLine("hello");
}
problem is that the buffer of your stream is not flushed ... you could either call flush() or make sure it is properly disposed by the using block ...
You have to close the connection in order to write to the file.
Best practice is simply using using.
There is no problem in updating a file after creating it. But you must always take care of the stream.
using (StreamWriter test = new StreamWriter("mytext.txt", true))
{
test.WriteLine("File created");
}
//Do Stuff...
using (StreamWriter test = new StreamWriter("mytext.txt", true))
{
test.WriteLine("hello");
}
Do you have the file open in another program like notepad++?
