The following example illustrates the use of the
Skip method.
JScript
function SkipTextFile()
{
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("JScript is fun");
f.Close();
f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForReading);
f.Skip(6);
r = f.ReadLine();
return(r);
}
Function SkipTextFile
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
Dim fso, f
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)
f.Write "Hello world!"
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading)
f.Skip(6)
SkipTextFile = f.ReadLine
End Function
FUNCTION SkipTextFile () AS STRING
LOCAL fso AS IFileSystem
LOCAL f AS ITextStream
fso = NEWCOM ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
f = fso.OpenTextFile(UCODE$("c:\testfile.txt"), %IOMode_ForWriting, %VARIANT_TRUE)
f.Write UCODE$("Hello world!" )
f.Close
f = fso.OpenTextFile(UCODE$("c:\testfile.txt"), %IOMode_ForReading)
f.Skip(6)
FUNCTION = ACODE$(f.ReadLine)
f.Close
END FUNCTION
