Description
Read-only property that returns the current line number in a TextStream file.
Syntax
object.Line

The object is always the name of a TextStream object.

Remarks
After a file is initially opened and before anything is written, Line is equal to 1.

The following example illustrates use of the Line property: 

Function GetLine
  Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
  Dim fso, f, ra
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)
  f.Write "Hello world!" & vbCrLf & "VB Script is fun!" & vbCrLf
  Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading)
  ra =  f.ReadAll
  GetLine = f.Line   
End Function
