I have some strings I want to write to a file in VB6, I can write it fine but every time I do it adds a new line automatically after each write command.
Is there a function or a way to just write to the file without the automatic new line? Thanks.
A:
You can use a semicolon after the Write command, for example:
Write #handle, "Hello";
Write #handle, "world";

The output of this is `"Hello","world",`, which may not be desirable.

Or on the other hand, it might - if you want to output a CSV for example. The OP says "it adds a new line automatically after each write command" so I assume that's what he was using in the first place.

The advice to use the semicolon is correct, but you most likely don't want to use it in conjunction with Write #, which will enclose your output in quotation marks. Use Print # instead.
Print #handle, "Hello";
Print #handle, " world";

In addition to quotations marks, the Write statement adds commas when you use a semicolon in the output list. See my comment on Alex's answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2543883/writing-to-file-vb6-without-new-line/2544022#2544022
