Kindly do help me in this regard......... Thank you in advance

Hi,
As you did not use code tags so I did not look at your code but,

C:\Documents and Settings\HU68135\file\build\web\C:\Documents and Settings\HU68135\Desktop\a.txt (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)

the above line suggests that there is a problem with the path of the file name and maybe not with the code.

Hope this helps

Thank You for your reply Mr.Amit Ghorpade. I found out my exact problem, I did not include a line in that code and the problem that i faced was because of my browser.

You are welcome,
Its always a pleasure to help
