ReadLine Method 

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

object.ReadLine( )

Remarks

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);

}

Function ReadLineTextFile

   Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2

   Dim fso, MyFile

   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)

   MyFile.WriteLine "Hello world!"

   MyFile.WriteLine "The quick brown fox"

   MyFile.Close

   Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading)

   ReadLineTextFile = MyFile.ReadLine    ' Returns "Hello world!"

End Function
