Reading a txt file into a html page using vb script

**neoknight** · Oct 3rd, 2000, 07:11 AM

Could someone please help me in trying to read information from a text file into a web page (text box on a form).
AS i've tried everything and can't find out how. An example page would be greatly appreciated.

I just read that link as well Ian!

but I knocked-up a complete example...

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%option explicit%>
<HTML>

<BODY>
<%
	Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
	Dim fso, f,myText
	
	Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	
	Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading, True)
	
	Do While not f.AtEndOfStream
		myText = myText & f.ReadLine & vbCrLf
	Loop 


	f.Close

	Response.Write("<input value='" & mytext & "'>")
%>
  
</BODY>
</HTML>
