Description
Provides access to a computer's file system.
Remarks
The following code illustrates how the FileSystemObject is used to return a TextStream object that can be read from or written to:
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 preceding code, the CreateObject function returns 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.
