Width

Assigns an output line width to a file opened by the Open statement.

Syntax: Width # FileNumber , Width

FileNumber: required The file number used to open the file.
Width: required A numeric expression in the range 0–255, inclusive, indicating how many characters appear on a line before a new line is started. If Width equals 0, there is no limit to the length of a line. The default is 0.

Example

This example sets the output line width to 5 — five characters are written per line before the channel wraps.

Dim I As Long
Open "TESTFILE" For Output As #1     ' Open file for output.
Width #1, 5                          ' Set output line width to 5.
For I = 0 To 9                       ' Loop 10 times.
    Print #1, Chr(48 + I);           ' Prints five characters per line.
Next I
Close #1                             ' Close file.
