Creating and writing to a text file

There seems to be a myriad of ways to do the above on the internet none of which appears to work (for me ) within the vb.net component in grasshopper. Can someone enlighten me how to do it. I cannot use the panel output method. Many thanks

Create a string which contains the content you want to write.
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(filepath, content)

David, what would be the Python version of this snippet?

Here is a way that I am using now. It enables you to pick a folder and either specify a file name or have it come from somewhere in the patch. If you open the cluster you will also see how to make the VB component work.

ps: you can also set "append" to true, to have it continously write to the same file.

Yeah, this is a serious problem for working with text writing. I had a similar problem in college. When working with reviews, I did not see a panel for editing the text. I needed to write a lot of writing companies reviews, but I did it very slowly. Students were waiting forward to my reviews and therefore helped me fix this. My colleague wrote some kind of script and each time the panel opened during program startup. It helped me a lot.
