How to read from a text file using VBScript?

Question

I am looking to see a simple way to read from and write to a text file using VBScript.

I think this is an acceptable method for writing to a file.

 Dim f, 
 Dim fso

 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 Set f = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\test.txt", True, True)

 f.WriteLine("Data to Add to file.")
 f.Close

However, I would like to know how to read from a file in a similar fashion.

Answer 1

Dim obj : Set obj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim outFile : Set outFile = obj.CreateTextFile("in.txt")
Dim inFile: Set inFile = obj.OpenTextFile("out.txt")

' Read file
Dim strRetVal : strRetVal = inFile.ReadAll
inFile.Close

' Write file
outFile.write (strRetVal)
outFile.Close
