JScript  

ReadLine Method

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change]

Reads an entire line (up to, but not including, the newline character) from a TextStream file and returns the resulting string.

object.ReadLine( )

The object argument is always the name of a TextStream object.

Remarks

The following example illustrates the use of the Line property:

function GetLine()
{
   var fso, f, r;
   var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForWriting, true);
   f.WriteLine("Hello world!");
   f.WriteLine("JScript is fun");
   f.Close();
   f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForReading);
   r =  f.ReadLine();
   return(r);
}
