It has to do with the fact that you've created the file using: Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strDirectory & strFile) That creates the file...and carries a reference to that file (objFil

Vbscript Write To Text File
January 04, 2011 5:04 AM (permalink) 0 Hi, I wrote a script that does an application installation and outputs messages to a log file as the script progresses. If I run the script and it fails due to a runtime issue, the line that closes the log file never runs which leaves the file open and locked. How http://stackoverflow.com/questions/369242/vbscript-fso-opentextfile-permission-denied would I capture the error when the script fails at the open log file step and perform any additional steps? I'm thinking I should capture the error, if an error condition exists, close the open file and then reattempt opening the file again so the script can continue normally. The failure I am trying to address occurred at "Set http://www.visualbasicscript.com/VBscript-error-caused-by-open-file-m88294.aspx objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strDirectory & strFile)". Here is a code snippet: Dim objFSO, objFolder, objShell, objLogFile, objFile Dim strDirectory, strFile 'Variables used for storing current date and time to enter in the log Dim dateStamp, timeStamp dateStamp = Date() timeStamp = Time() 'Declare and initialize variables needed for log file output strDirectory = "c:\Windows\Temp\" strFile = "Microsoft_Lync.log" 'Create the File System Object Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 'Create log file (replaces existing log file) Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strDirectory & strFile) 'Open log file for writing Set objFile = Nothing Set objFolder = Nothing Set objLogFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (strDirectory & strFile, 2, True) 'Output time and date stamps to log file objLogFile.WriteLine(timeStamp & " " & dateStamp) objLogFile.WriteLine 'Close log file objLogFile.Close Thanks for your help!

XML Info Information: Feedback Author an Article Using the http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/faq/FileSystemObject/faq3.shtml FileSystemObject to Write to Text Files In the previous FAQ, we discussed how the FileSystemObject and TextStream objects could be used to read the contents of a http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/644500-runtime-error-5-when-using-filesystemobject-textstream-write-csv-file.html text file. In this FAQ, we will discuss how to write to a text file using these two objects. Recall that we Opened a text file microsoft vbscript using the OpenTextFile method of the FileSystemObject object. In the previous FAQ we talked about two parameters into this function. When dealing with writing text files, we need to discuss the third. This third parameter is optional, like the second, and is a boolean value. The new definition of the OpenTextFile method is: FileSystemObjectInstance.OpenTextFile(FullFilePath[, microsoft vbscript runtime iomode[, Created]]) Note: there is one more optional parameter, but we are only interested in these first three for the time being. The optional iomode parameter decides what IO mode the file is opened with. The following values can be used: iomode Values ForReading1 ForWriting2 ForAppending8 These constants are not defined in a text file like the ADO constants are defined in ADOVBS.inc. Therefore, you should define the constant you wish to use. For example, if I use the ForReading constant, you will see ASP code like: Const fsoForWriting = 2 The Create method determines whether or not a new file should be created if the specified file name (FullFilePath) does not exist. Create defaults to False. If you try to write to a file that doesn't exist, and Create is set to False (either implicitly or explicitly), an error will occur. The TextStream object has the following important methods for writing to text files: Write(string) - Wr

This is so that my CSV can contain non-english characters in the text. The code works if I have english characters on the sheet. To test the code with non-english character I did the following: Excel 2010 insert menu / ribbon -> Symbol -> Choose subset cyrillic -> Insert some cyrillic characters in a cell With the cyrillic characters the code gives an error on the WriteLine code (see below) and the error says 'Runtime Error 5 Invalid Procedure call or argument' Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
