Overview

Coding that exemplifies how to create multiple files with different names containing each one different information.

 

Description

This is an example of how to write to multiple files. The idea behind this example is given a situation where you'll be writing a lot of data to a file and you want to split it up to into multiple files. This example writes randomly generated numbers to a file called TextFile.txt. After 20 numbers are written to a file, the file is closed and a new file (named TextFile2.txt) is created to continue with another 20 numbers and so one until the stop button is pressed.
