When I run the lines below and write the outputs to the the file /trial12/,

 

a=11+6

a>>trial12

Print ["The answer is ",a]>>>trial12

 17

 The answer is  17

 

 

in /trial12/ I get the contents indicated below:

 

17

Null

 

Whenever I write text or text+number combinations, I always get a null 
string.  Same problem with Export["filename.txt", a].

 

Can anyone tell me how to write a Print line or text to an external file?
