CSV files
- Thread starter hicks
- Start date
.csv is just comma delimited.
'Open a file for output. (MyFile.csv)
intFileNum = Freefile
Open "C:\MyFolder\MyFile.csv" For Output as intFileNum
strEOL = chr(13) + chr(10)
'the following would be in some kind of loop and 'Data()' is whatever your field(columns) are:
strTemp = Data(1) & "," & Data(2) & ","....... & strEOL
Print #intFileNum, strTemp
Close
that's it. the strEOL is a carrage return\Line feed at the end of each line.

Can I offer another alternative using good old Scripting.FileSystemObject.

Code:
Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject
Dim tsOutput As TextStream
Dim astrData() As String ' Array to hold data values
Set tsOutput = FSO.CreateTextFile("<csv file")
'# Perform the code to extract the data from Oracle here and perform a loop through the data populating the data array for each line. The following line of code should be
placed in the loop to write the data to the csv file.
tsOutput.WriteLine Join(astrData,",")
' This will write a line containing all the information populated into the data array seperated by commas
tsOutput.Close
etc, etc,HTH John Whyte
