text is the type identifier for a built-in file type, whose values are sequences of lines. A line is a sequence of characters and every line in a text file is terminated by an end-of-line character except possibly the last line (see Termination of all lines in text files).
The simple program below writes a short message to a text file.
program message(fOut);
const
OutputFileName='message.txt';
var
fOut : text;
begin
rewrite(fOut, OutputFileName);
writeln(fOut, 'This file is generated by a very simple program');
writeln(fOut, 'which was written to help explain the "text" file type.');
close(fOut);
end.
