# TStrings.SaveToFile

Save the contents of the list to a file.

## Declaration

Source position: classesh.inc line 676

`public procedure TStrings.SaveToFile(`
`const FileName: string`
`); virtual;`

## Description

SaveToFile saves the contents of the stringlist to the file with name FileName. It writes the strings to the file, separated by end-of-line markers, so each line in the file will contain 1 string from the stringlist.

SaveToFile creates a file stream with name FileName, calls TStrings.SaveToStream and then destroys the file stream object.

## Errors

An EStreamError exception can be raised if the file FileName cannot be opened, or if it cannot be written to.
