Note

In actual usage, TextStream is replaced by a variable placeholder representing the TextStream object returned from the FileSystemObject.

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

var fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

var 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.
