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:

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True)
a.WriteLine("This is a test.")
a.Close

WriteLine and Close are two methods of the TextStream Object.
