Description

Reads an entire line (up to, but not including, the newline character) from a TextStream file and returns the resulting string.

Syntax

object.ReadLine( )

The object argument is always the name of a TextStream object.

Remarks

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