Put it directly into the place you needed

Dim file As System.IO.StreamWriter
file = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter("filename.txt", True)
file.WriteLine("Your Text Here~")
file.Close()

You can use file system object for ealier versions of Visual basic.

' VBScript

Dim fso, MyFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True)
MyFile.WriteLine(label.caption)
MyFile.Close

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z9ty6h50(VS.85).aspx

or 

Sub Create_File()
    Dim fso, txtfile
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set txtfile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True)
    txtfile.Write (lable.caption) ' Write a line.
    ' Write a line with a newline character.
    txtfile.WriteLine("Testing 1, 2, 3.")
    ' Write three newline characters to the file.
    txtfile.WriteBlankLines(3)
    txtfile.Close
End Sub

You use StreamWriter to do that. Here's an example:

Dim file As System.IO.StreamWriter
file = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter("c:\test.txt", True)
file.WriteLine("Here is the first string.")
file.Close()

If you want to know how to read from txt files, here's a example code:

Dim fileReader As String
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\test.txt")
MsgBox(fileReader)

You can use the classes in the System.IO namespace. Look at File and its methods.

This example uses one overload of WriteAllText:

File.WriteAllText("Path To Text File.txt", myLabel.Text)

It will write the text value of the myLabel control to the specifies text file.
