Hi,

Its probably a very dumb question but I am stuck.

- I have a vb.net code which writes text to a file on the local machine. The file write has been done sucessfully but being a string data, its writing " (double quotes) in the final string. The file needs to contain only text without any quotes. How can I get away with it?

here's my code :

dim sFileName as string = "testFile.dat"
Dim iFileNum As Integer
iFileNum = FreeFile()
FileOpen(iFileNum, sFileName, OpenMode.Append)

Dim sLine As String
Dim sEmpNum As String
Dim sYear As String = Year(Now)
Dim sMonth As String = Month(Now)
Dim sDay As String = Day(Now)
Dim sHour As String = Hour(Now)
Dim sMinute As String = Minute(Now)

'Build the final string
sLine = sEmpNum & sYear & sMonth & sDay & sHour & sMinute

WriteLine(iFileNum, sLine)

'close the file
FileClose(iFileNum)

=========
The file should have data like:
0000002438200210141042
0000002439200210141042
0000002440200210141042

 
WriteLine(iFileNum, sLine.replace("""",string.empty))

thanks.

But the file still shows up:
"0000002438200210141042"

instead it shud be
0000002438200210141042
