Print with no line feed
 

I think it's a little harsh to scold the OP because he didn't RTFM. Here's
what my help file says:

Use a semicolon to position the insertion point immediately after the last
character displayed.

and

Multiple expressions can be separated with either a space or a semicolon. A
space has the same effect as a semicolon.

I don't think it's at all clear that the semi-colon accomplishes what the OP
asked. I recall that it took me some time to figure out how to do exactly
what the OP wanted to do. I don't know about others but I think this is
just one example of frequently obfuscated MS documentation.

Did you try either of what Dave posted? If you look carefully at the
second one, you will see a semi-colon after the Print statement
argument... that tells the Print statement to suppress the line feed
(actually, it is a carriage return followed by a line feed the Print added
to your output and it is this combination that the semi-colon suppresses).
By the way, this is covered in the help files for the Print# Statement
(which I am guessing you didn't read).

No silly.

Is there a way to tell Print not to add the line feed?

Open "C:\output.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, "hello world"
Close #1

or maybe...

Sub Write2()
Open "C:\output.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, "hello";
Print #1, " world";
Close #1
End Sub

I have:

Sub Write2()
Open "C:\output.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, "hello"
Print #1, " world"
Close #1
End Sub

Which creates a file that looks like

hello
world

Is there a way to tell Print not to add the line feed - so I can get

hello world

Thanks.

Thanks Dave, Rick and Luke.

Yes, I didn't notice the semi-colon on Dave's first follow up post.

This was what I needed.
