[Help]Create program files folder when run[Solved]

[Physcadelic]

Well this is VERY nooby, but I just started VB.

When the user runs the program I want a folder to be created in their program files, and a .txt inside that folder. I know how to do this, but how would I actually name the folder like "Test Program" and the .txt to actually contain text. How would I write text to the .txt when the programs runs?

[php]Io.Directory.CreateDirectory("Path")
[/php]
[php]
Using sWrite as new io.streamwriter("Path", append as boolean)
swrite.write(text)
end using[/php]

Sorry, just telling you

Instead of

Using sWrite as new io.streamwriter("C:\Program Files\programname\filename.txt", append as boolean)
    swrite.write(Text in filename.txt)
    End Using

use

IO.File.WriteAllText("C:\Program Files\programname\filename.txt", "Contents of filename.txt")

Lolz I please you to actually look at code before C+Ping it.

[php]
IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\Program Files\programname")
Using sWriter As new IO.StreamWriter("C:\Program Files\programname\test.txt", False)
sWriter.Write(String.Join(ControlChars.CrLf, New String() {"Please read", "The fucking code", "before you copy it"}))
End Using
[/php]

And put the code in a method body for gawds sake.

[Physcadelic]

Instead of

Using sWrite as new io.streamwriter("C:\Program Files\programname\filename.txt", append as boolean)
    swrite.write(Text in filename.txt)
    End Using

use

IO.File.WriteAllText("C:\Program Files\programname\filename.txt", "Contents of filename.txt")

Thanks, that worked, and thankyou too Blubb, I guess I'm just too stupid to understand your code..

Physcadelic, don't get all mad at me for voting against copy and pasting, there's no need to throw around negative rep just because you can't handle criticism.

There's no need to de-rep you as I repped him already, but be careful next time. If you won't face the criticism, you won't be able to learn new things.
