Reading a text file using the File System Object

[matthewralston]

Has anyone got a quick bit of code for reading the contents of a text file into a variable using the file system object?

From past experience with the fso I know I'd be able to figure it out but it's do damn fiddly that I can't be bothered if someone's already done it.

Anyone got a bit of code they can paste in for me? Don't worry if you ain't...I'll just have to do it myself the old fashioned way!

dim filesys, txtfile, line
set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set txtfile = filesys.OpenTextFile("c:\file.txt",1,0)
Do
   line = txtfile.ReadLine
Loop Until txtfile.AtEndOfStream
txtfile.close

This should be working. It might be Server.CreateObject... but you'll notice.

That should do me just fine... I was expecting it to involve creating more fso objects for that.. one for the folder...one for the file...one as a text stream...

I'll be putting it on an ASP page so I will be using Server.CreateObject .
