FileSystemObject Object
The following code illustrates how the FileSystemObject is used to return a TextStream object that can be read from or written to.
JScript Copy Code
// JScript
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var a = fso.CreateTextFile("c://testfile.txt", true);
a.WriteLine("This is a test.");
a.Close();
Visual Basic Copy Code
' VBScript
Dim fso, MyFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:/testfile.txt", True)
MyFile.WriteLine("This is a test.")
MyFile.Close
In the example code, the ActiveXObject object is assigned to the FileSystemObject (fso). The CreateTextFile method then creates the file as a TextStream object (a), and the WriteLine method writes a line of text to the created text file. The Close method flushes the buffer and closes the file.
