[file-io] How to read a file and write into a text file?

I want to open mis file, copy all the data and write into a text file.

My mis file.

File name – 1.mis

M3;3395;44;0;1;;20090404;094144;8193;3;0;;;;
M3;3397;155;0;2;;20090404;105941;8193;3;0;;;;
M3;3396;160;0;1;;20090404;100825;8193;3;0;;;;
M3;3398;168;0;2;;20090404;110106;8193;3;0;;;;

so on...,

The above data should appear in a text file with same file name (1.txt).

I tried this code.

Dim sFileText As String
Dim iFileNo As Integer
iFileNo = FreeFile
Open "C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis" For Input As #iFileNo
Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)
Input #iFileNo, sFileText
Loop
Close #iFileNo

Open "C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt" For Output As #iFileNo
Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)
Write #iFileNo, sFileText
Loop
Close #iFileNo

Nothing is saved in 1.txt.

    An example of reading a file:
Dim sFileText as String
Dim iFileNo as Integer
iFileNo = FreeFile
'open the file for reading
Open "C:\Test.txt" For Input As #iFileNo
'change this filename to an existing file! (or run the example below first)

'read the file until we reach the end
Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)
Input #iFileNo, sFileText
'show the text (you will probably want to replace this line as appropriate to your program!)
MsgBox sFileText
Loop

'close the file (if you dont do this, you wont be able to open it again!)
Close #iFileNo
(note: an alternative to Input # is Line Input # , which reads whole lines).


An example of writing a file:
Dim sFileText as String
Dim iFileNo as Integer
iFileNo = FreeFile
'open the file for writing
Open "C:\Test.txt" For Output As #iFileNo
'please note, if this file already exists it will be overwritten!

'write some example text to the file
Print #iFileNo, "first line of text"
Print #iFileNo, " second line of text"
Print #iFileNo, "" 'blank line
Print #iFileNo, "some more text!"

'close the file (if you dont do this, you wont be able to open it again!)
Close #iFileNo

From Here

FileCopy "1.mis", "1.txt"

If you want to do it line by line:

Dim sFileText As String
Dim iInputFile As Integer, iOutputFile as integer

iInputFile = FreeFile
Open "C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis" For Input As #iInputFile 
iOutputFile = FreeFile
Open "C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt" For Output As #iOutputFile 
Do While Not EOF(iInputFile)
   Line Input #iInputFile , sFileText
   ' sFileTextis a single line of the original file
   ' you can append anything to it before writing to the other file
   Print #iOutputFile, sFileText 
Loop
Close #iInputFile 
Close #iOutputFile
