Hi all.
I have a Sub that calls another sub. Both subs use a common object, so I
used Public to declare it at the top of the module, as below.
Public Writer As StreamWriter = File.CreateText(Application.StartupPath &
"\Update.txt")
The first time my Sub runs it works fine. But the second time it fails
telling me "Cannot write to a closed TextWriter. I am guessing that this is
because the Public section is only read once instance of the application. I
have to close the TextWriter so that I can use the file in another process.
Any idea how I can either ensure that the Public section is re-read, or,
provide the TextWriter to the 2nd Sub?

I think I'm a little confused at what you need to do. But your problem lies
in
If you declare like this:
Public Writer As StreamWriter
Public Sub1()
if Writer is Nothing then
Wrier = File.CreateText(Application.StartupPath & "\Update.txt")
end if
'Do Something
End Sub
Public Sub2()
if Writer is Nothing then
Wrier = File.CreateText(Application.StartupPath & "\Update.txt")
end if
'Do Something
End Sub
Public Sub DoSomethingThatMustCloseFile
Writer.Close
Writer = Nothing
End Sub
Now this way of doing it opens the file if it was closed. And uses the same
file if it was already opened. I think this is what you are talking about
doing. If not, can you post some sample code that shows the problem more?

Thanks for the reply. This is my code. As you can see, it recurses by
calling itself repeatedly. And then the sub ReadAllFiles tidies up by
closing the stream. My problem is that the 2nd time it runs it errors on
line ".WriteLine(sFile) in the ReadDirs Sub.
Sub ReadAllFiles
Call ReadDirs(WHATEVER_PATH, True)
WriteTxtUpdate.Flush
WriteTxtUpdate.Close
End Sub
Sub ReadDirs(ByVal Sourcedir As String, ByVal recursive As Boolean)
Sourcedir &= Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
If fRecursive Then
For Each sDir In Directory.GetDirectories(Sourcedir)
sDirInfo = New DirectoryInfo(sDir)
ReadDirs(sDirInfo.FullName, fRecursive)
sDirInfo = Nothing
Next
End If
With WriteTxtUpdate
For Each sFile In Directory.GetFiles(Sourcedir)
.WriteLine(sFile)
Next
End With

You are talking about "2nd time" meaning the second time you call the
function ReadAllFiles right. If that is the case then my solution in my
previous post solves the problem. After you close WriteTextUpdate you have
to open it again before you use it. Two ways to solve it.
1. Declare WriteTextUpdate inside ReadAllFiles and pass it into ReadDirs
2. (Probably a better way for this case, as I stated before) Define then
object WriteTextUpdate as public but open it in ReadAllFiles
Public WriteTxtUpdate as StreamWriter Sub ReadAllFiles
WriteTxtUpdate = File.CreateTextFile(........)
Call ReadDirs(WHATEVER_PATH, True)
WriteTxtUpdate.Flush
WriteTxtUpdate.Close
End Sub
You won't get an error this way, but the old file is destoyed w/ every call.

Like I said, I'd probably declare it like the code I showed since you are
doing it recursive and all.
But...
Sub ReadAllFiles
Dim WriteTxtUpdateForThisSub as StreamWriter = File.Create(....)
Call ReadDirs(WHATEVER_PATH, True, WriteTxtUpdateForThisSub)
WriteTxtUpdateForThisSub.Flush
WriteTxtUpdateForThisSub.Close
End Sub
Sub ReadDirs(ByVal Sourcedir As String, ByVal recursive As Boolean, ByRef
WriteTxtUpdate as StreamWriter)
Sourcedir &= Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
If fRecursive Then
For Each sDir In Directory.GetDirectories(Sourcedir)
sDirInfo = New DirectoryInfo(sDir)
ReadDirs(sDirInfo.FullName, fRecursive, WriteTxtUpdate)
sDirInfo = Nothing
Next
End If
With WriteTxtUpdate
For Each sFile In Directory.GetFiles(Sourcedir)
.WriteLine(sFile)
Next
End With
End Sub

wrote in message news:ul**************@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... You are talking about "2nd time" meaning the second time you call the
function ReadAllFiles right. If that is the case then my solution in my
previous post solves the problem. After you close WriteTextUpdate you
have to open it again before you use it. Two ways to solve it.
1. Declare WriteTextUpdate inside ReadAllFiles and pass it into ReadDirs
2. (Probably a better way for this case, as I stated before) Define then
object WriteTextUpdate as public but open it in ReadAllFiles
Public WriteTxtUpdate as StreamWriter
Sub ReadAllFiles
WriteTxtUpdate = File.CreateTextFile(........)
Call ReadDirs(WHATEVER_PATH, True)
WriteTxtUpdate.Flush
WriteTxtUpdate.Close
End Sub
You won't get an error this way, but the old file is destoyed w/ every
call.

news:uk**************@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... Thanks for the reply. This is my code. As you can see, it recurses by
calling itself repeatedly. And then the sub ReadAllFiles tidies up by
closing the stream. My problem is that the 2nd time it runs it errors
on line ".WriteLine(sFile) in the ReadDirs Sub.
Sub ReadAllFiles
Call ReadDirs(WHATEVER_PATH, True)
WriteTxtUpdate.Flush
WriteTxtUpdate.Close
End Sub
Sub ReadDirs(ByVal Sourcedir As String, ByVal recursive As Boolean)
Sourcedir &= Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
If fRecursive Then
For Each sDir In Directory.GetDirectories(Sourcedir)
sDirInfo = New DirectoryInfo(sDir)
ReadDirs(sDirInfo.FullName, fRecursive)
sDirInfo = Nothing
Next
End If
With WriteTxtUpdate
For Each sFile In Directory.GetFiles(Sourcedir)
.WriteLine(sFile)
Next
End With
End Sub

I think I'm a little confused at what you need to do. But your problem
lies in
If you declare like this:
Public Writer As StreamWriter
Public Sub1()
if Writer is Nothing then
Wrier = File.CreateText(Application.StartupPath & "\Update.txt")
end if
'Do Something
End Sub
Public Sub2()
if Writer is Nothing then
Wrier = File.CreateText(Application.StartupPath & "\Update.txt")
end if
'Do Something
End Sub
Public Sub DoSomethingThatMustCloseFile
Writer.Close
Writer = Nothing
End Sub
Now this way of doing it opens the file if it was closed. And uses the
same file if it was already opened. I think this is what you are
talking about doing. If not, can you post some sample code that shows
the problem more?
