The TextStream Object

The TextStream object is used to access the contents of a text-readable file.

The following code creates a text file (c:\test.txt) and then writes some text to the file (the variable f is an instance of the TextStream object):

<% 
dim fs, f 
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
set f=fs.CreateTextFile("c:\test.txt",true) 
f.WriteLine("Hello World!")
f.Close
set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
