TextStream Object

Description

Facilitates sequential access to file.

Syntax

TextStream.{property | method( )}

The property and method arguments can be any of the properties and methods associated with the TextStream object. Note that in actual usage, TextStream is replaced by a variable placeholder representing the TextStream object returned from the FileSystemObject.

Remarks

In the following code, a is the TextStream object returned by the CreateTextFile method on the FileSystemObject:

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var a = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", true);
a.WriteLine("This is a test.");
a.Close();

WriteLine and Close are two methods of the TextStream object.
