Adding blank space as one of my variable

I want to write some data about the person's in a file. And while adding those data i want to add blank space if a particular data for that person is not available.

ex: I want to have " " in place of SSN if person doesn't have one.

Thanks,

If all you're doing is writing out variables from an object, you could just use the String.IsNullOrEmpty method before you return the value you want to write.

Something like

return !String.IsNullOrEmpty(SSN) ? SSN : " ";

Uhm... sorry for this kind of answer, but I really recommend you read up on file I/O. As Brad said, it's kinda unclear what your problem is.

I, for one, think your problem is not actually a problem: if you know how to print to the file all the other information, you surely must know how to add some blanks.

Again, sorry I'm not giving a straight answer, but trust me: I could tell you ten different ways of handling record-keeping when certain data is undefined for a record, and you would still learn much more (and much more solidly) reading a tutorial or two.
