ReadAll Method

Description

Reads an entire TextStream file and returns the resulting string.

Syntax

object.ReadAll

The object is always the name of a TextStream object.

Remarks

For large files, using the ReadAll method wastes memory resources. Other techniques should be used to input a file, such as reading a file line by line.

Function ReadAllTextFile
  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)
  ReadAllTextFile =  f.ReadAll
End Function
