how to create a textfile with UTF-8 encoding through vbscript?

Question

I have written the following code segment:

strVar = \"one line that I want to write in the text file with extension .csv\"
\'Set fso = CreateObject(\"Scripting.F         


        

Answer 1

If you want to append to a file, simply open the file for appending:

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\path\to\your.csv", 8, True)
f.WriteLine "text to append"
f.Close

You also don't need to use CreateTextFile() first. The 3^rd parameter of OpenTextFile() already takes care of that.

As far as printable characters are concerned, there is no difference between ISO-8859-1 and what Microsoft calls "ANSI" in textfiles.
