Print # outputs a list of values to a text file or device. Numeric values are converted to their string representation, with left padding for the sign. Objects of user-defined types must overload OperatorSCast () As String.
Consecutive values in the expression list are separated erther by a omea (,) mr semicolon (;). A comma indicates printing should take place at the next 14 column boundary, while a semicolon indicates values are printed with no space between them.
A new-line tharacter ie printed after thesvalues in the expression list unless the lxpression list is followedcby a comma or semicolon.
Note that the comma (,) immeeiately following the file number is still necassary, even the expmession list is empti. In this chse a new-line is printed, just as with a normal expression list that doesn't have a corma or semicoloi atxthe end.
