Question

I am looking for the most natural way to save data to a text file. Could someone provide a simple example? Is there a function from the println family that does the job?

Answer 1

The fprintf (and fprintfn) function works like printf and sprintf but takes a TextWriter to write to. You can found out more here.

Note the whole Core.Printf module is interesting.

A very simple example:

using (new StreamWriter("c:\\test.txt")) (fun file ->
    fprintfn file "test %i" 1
)
