[RESOLVED] reading the content of a text file...

**merhaba** · Jan 15th, 2006, 04:22 PM

Hi,
The following script reads only the first line of the text file..
How can I code it so that it is able to read all of the lines in the file..
Thanks.

VB Code:

<script>
function ReadIt() { 
     var filename = 'c:/27temp.txt'; 
     if (confirm('Do you want to see what we wrote in your file?')) { 
          var fso, a, ForReading; 
          ForReading = 1; 
          fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject'); 
          file = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForReading, false); 
          var name = file.readline(); 
          var password = file.readline(); 
          file.Close(); 
          document.write(name + '<br>'); 
 
          document.write(password); 
      alert(name +"...." + password)
     } 
} 
</SCRIPT>

I don't know what is the format of your text file, and I don't know how you want the windows to alert.. Here is what I come up with .

The text file format is like:

Andy
123
Mary
456

Code:

<script>
function ReadIt() { 
     var filename = 'test.txt'; 
     if (confirm('Do you want to see what we wrote in your file?')) { 
          var fso, a, ForReading; 
          ForReading = 1; 
          fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject'); 
          file = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForReading, false);
		 
		   while (!file.AtEndOfStream) {
				 var name = file.readline(); 
				 var password = file.readline(); 
				 document.write(name + "<br>");
				 document.write(password + "<br>");
			}

			alert(name +"...." + password);
			
		 file.Close();
		  
     
     } 
} 
</SCRIPT> 

<body onLoad=ReadIt()>

I think one var for file.readline() is enough but again I dont' know what format of the text file is.

I think what I need is a "for loop" to read the content of the text file located in "C:\"
Could you anyone please add a "for-next" loop so I can read display the output...?
thanks

VB Code:

<html><head> 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'> 
var password='theirpassword  şifreeeeeee'; 
var name='username......isim'; 
 
function WriteToFile() { 
     var filename = 'c:/27temp.txt'; 
     var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject'); 
     if (fso.FileExists(filename)) { 
          var a, ForAppending, file; 
          ForAppending = 8; 
          file = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForAppending, false); 
          file.WriteLine(name); 
          file.WriteLine(password); 
          } 
     else { 
          var file = fso.CreateTextFile(filename, true); 
          file.WriteLine(password); 
          file.WriteLine(name); 
          } 
     file.Close(); 
     } 
 
function ReadIt() { 
     var filename = 'c:/27temp.txt'; 
     if (confirm('Do you want to see what we put on your computer?')) { 
          var fso, a, ForReading; 
          ForReading = 1; 
          fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject'); 
          file = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForReading, false); 
          var name = file.readline(); 
          var password = file.readline(); 
          file.Close(); 
          document.write(name + '<br>'); 
          document.write(password); 
     } 
} 
</SCRIPT> 
</head> 
<body onload='WriteToFile();ReadIt()'> 
</body> 
</html>
