FWRITE macro

Writes text to a file, starting at the current position in that file. (For more information about a file's position, see FPOS.) If FWRITE can't write to the file, it returns the #N/A error value.

Syntax

FWRITE(file_num, text)

File_num    is the unique ID number of the file you want to write data to. File_num is returned by a previously executed FOPEN function. If file_num is not valid, FWRITE returns the #VALUE! error value.

Text    is the text you want to write to the file.

Example

The following function writes the current month to the open file identified as FileNumber:

FWRITE(FileNumber, TEXT(MONTH(NOW()),"mmmm"))
