ReadLine Method
Updated: September 2009
Reads an entire line (up to, but not including, the newline character) from a TextStream file and returns the resulting string.
object.ReadLine( )
The following example illustrates the use of the ReadLine method.
var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8; var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); // Open the file for output. var filename = "c:\\testfile.txt"; var f = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForWriting, true); // Write to the file. f.WriteLine("Hello world!"); f.WriteLine("The quick brown fox"); f.Close(); // Open the file for input. f = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForReading); // Read from the file and display the results. while (!f.AtEndOfStream) { var r = f.ReadLine(); document.write (r + "<br />"); } f.Close();
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
Dim fso, MyFile, FileName, TextLine
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Open the file for output.
FileName = "c:\testfile.txt"
Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile(FileName, ForWriting, True)
' Write to the file.
MyFile.WriteLine "Hello world!"
MyFile.WriteLine "The quick brown fox"
MyFile.Close
' Open the file for input.
Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile(FileName, ForReading)
' Read from the file and display the results.
Do While MyFile.AtEndOfStream <> True
TextLine = MyFile.ReadLine
Document.Write TextLine & "<br />"
Loop
MyFile.Close
