Hello ,

How do i save a file with the text from a texbox .

The text in the textbox is a nummer.

What I have tried:

VB

<pre>workbook.Save(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Reisdocumenten\ Form1.Reisnr.Text" & ".xlsx")

I think it has to be something like this but the outcome is

VB

From1.Reisnr.Text.xlsx

And not for example if the nummer in the textbox is 485

VB

485.xlsx

Just an idea to add to previous solution, using interpolated string could make it simpler to spot these kinds of problems. In other words you could use

VB

workbook.Save($"{My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath}\Reisdocumenten\{Form1.Reisnr.Text}.xlsx")

Using this format the Visual Studio quite nicely shows with color coding which part is literal and which is not.

Is there a dollar sign missing in there?

You forgot the '$' string prefix.

Solution 1

You have added the name of the text field inside the quotes so it is taken as part of the string. Try

VB

workbook.Save(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\Reisdocumenten\" & Form1.Reisnr.Text & ".xlsx")
