Saving serial data to a .dat/.txt file
« on: October 28, 2011, 04:46:17 pm »
Hello,

I'm trying to understand and then modify Ms. Axelson's 'com_port_terminal_vb' program so that I can save the data I receive from a serial COM port onto a different file. I'm finding it very difficult as i have next to no experience with VB.Net. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can give me.

Thank you,

-Ashwin

The data received is stored in the DataReceived routine in the newReceivedData variable. From there you can do whatever you want with the data.

To store the data in a file, see the File and StreamWriter classes. For VB, another option is Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem class. A web search on these should bring up examples.
