Console: WriteValue

WriteValue

Writes a string to the Console output stream without a NewLine break.

 Public Sub WriteValue(
	  ByRef Value As Variant,
	  ParamArray Args ( ) As Variant )

Parameters

Value: [ByRef] Variant. The value to write the string version of to the output stream.
Args: [ByRef] Variant. Values to be used in a formatted output.

Remarks

Values are converted to their string representation for text output. A formatted output can be created similar to cString.Format.

Examples

In this example, the WriteValue function is used to display a sequence of values. The values are all written to the same line because WriteValue does not include a NewLine character after writing a value. A NewLine character has to be manually added to advance to the next line.

Private Sub Main()
    Dim i As Long
    
    ' Writes out a sequence of digits. The digits are written on the same line.
    Console.WriteValue "Loop 1: "
    For i = 1 To 5
        Console.WriteValue i
    Next i
    
    ' Writes out a new line manually.
    Console.WriteValue vbCrLf
    
    ' Writes formatted values on the same line.
    Console.WriteValue "Loop 2: "
    For i = 1 To 5
        Console.WriteValue "i = {0}" & IIf(i < 5, ", ", ""), i
    Next i
End Sub

' This example produces the following output.
' Loop 1: 12345
' Loop 2: i = 1, i = 2, i = 3, i = 4, i = 5

As shown, the first loop writes 5 digits to the console, each digit following the previous digit on the same line. WriteValue does not include line-breaks. A manual line-break is written to achieve the effect of advancing to the next line. The second loop uses a formatted value output. The argument is substituted in the formatted value and then written to the output onto the same single line. A comma is added to distinguish each iteration though the loop.
