Writing to a .htm file
I have made a script which creates folders, for each folder it inserts an index.htm file.
This is working fine, but after i create the index.htm file and try to open it to write text to it, it says it cannot open the speciifed folder because it is being used by a different process.
here is my short code
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim counties(69) As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim oFile As System.IO.File
Dim oWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter

ok i created a new instance at the top, like this
Dim oWriteAgain As System.IO.StreamWriter
is that ok?
then i tried it and again i get this message
The process cannot access the file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\Desktop\temp
Dim oWriteAgain As System.IO.StreamWriter

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Replace c:\temp in loop with the same path(text box thing) you are using in your sample code. I forget to do it in hurry.

worked a treat thank you very much.
First of all
For i = 0 To (counties.Length - 1)
System.IO.Directory.Create
oWrite = oFile.CreateText(txtroot.T
Next i
oWrite.Close()
For i = 0 To (counties.Length - 1)
oRead = oFile.OpenText(txtroot.Tex
oWrite.WriteLine(textforin
Next i
Here you are closing oWrite and then trying to access it in second loop. This itself cause an exception message. Secondly you are closing that oWrite as its needed. Just make another instance of StreamWriter to write to index.txt or index.htm file.
