what is text stream object?

It facilitates sequential access to file.

The property and method arguments can be any of the properties and methods associated with the TextStream object. Note that in actual usage TextStream is replaced by a variable placeholder representing the TextStream object returned from the FileSystemObject.

Example

In the following code, a is the TextStream object returned by the CreateTextFile method on the FileSystemObject:

 Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("c:testfile.txt", True) a.WriteLine("This is a test.") a.Close 

WriteLine and Close are two methods of the TextStream Object.
