Creating .txt file from Powerpoint 2007 string variable

[Rat-Rabbit]

I would like to write the contents of a string variable in PowerPoint 2007 to
a .txt file in my Documents directory. Can anyone help me with this?

The following code should help you get started:

Sub WriteToFile(ByVal S As String, ByVal FileName As String)
Dim FF As Long

FF = FreeFile
Open FileName For Output As FF
Print #FF, S
Close #FF
End Sub

Call it with your string variable and the full path to file name as
parameters. It will write the contents of the string variable to the file.

Chirag provided a simple routine to output the text to file. If you need to find
the My Documents folder for whoever the current user is, see
http://vb.mvps.org/samples/SysFolders for a drop-in ready class that provides all
the system-defined folder locations.
