Reads an entire TextStream file and returns the resulting string.
object.ReadAll( );
The object is always the name of a TextStream object.
For large files, using the ReadAll method wastes memory resources. Other techniques should be used to input a file, such as reading a file line by line.
The following example illustrates the use of the ReadAll method:
function GetEverything()
{
var fso, f;
var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForWriting, true);
f.Write("Header");
f.Write("1234567890987654321");
f.Close();
f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForReading);
return(f.ReadAll());
}
