I am looking to see a simple way to read from and write to a text file using VBScript.
I think this is an acceptable method for writing to a file.
Dim f,
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\test.txt", True, True)
f.WriteLine("Data to Add to file.")
f.Close
However, I would like to know how to read from a file in a similar fashion.
Use first the method OpenTextFile
, and then...
either read the file at once with the method ReadAll
:
Const ForReading = 1
Dim file, content
Set file = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\test.txt", ForReading)
content = file.ReadAll
or line by line with the method ReadLine
:
Const ForReading = 1
Dim dict, file, row, line
Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set file = fso.OpenTextFile ("c:\test.txt", ForReading)
row = 0
Do Until file.AtEndOfStream
line = file.Readline
dict.Add row, line
row = row + 1
Loop
file.Close
'Loop over it
For Each line in dict.Items
WScript.Echo line
Next
