Description

Read-only property that returns the current line number in a TextStream file.

Syntax

object.Line

The object is always the name of a TextStream object.

Remarks

After a file is initially opened and before anything is written, Line is equal to 1.

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:\\textfile.txt", ForWriting, true)
  f.WriteLine("Hello world!");
  f.WriteLine("JavaScript is fun");
  f.Close();
  f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\textfile.txt", ForReading);
  r =  f.ReadAll();
  return(f.Line);
}
