How to set data length fixed in textfile and csvfile?

[TeiUKei]

I was stuck and found no information about how to copy data received into fixed length? Anyone can give or recommend how to start? For example: I received data 040824,1053,00028181595,000 040824,1054,00028159511,001 and i want to set the data length for 1st column as 6,then 2nd as 4 and 3rd as 11 in my textfile. What should i do?

There's no length or column width to set. It's all controled by how you write your string data out to the text file. Lookup String.Format for more information.
