The iomode argument can have any of the following settings:
The format argument can have any of the following settings:
Constant Value Description ForReading 1 Open a file for reading only. You can't write to this file. ForWriting 2 Open a file for writing. If a file with the same name exists, its previous contents are overwritten. ForAppending 8 Open a file and write to the end of the file.
Constant Value Description TristateUseDefault -2 Opens the file using the system default. TristateTrue -1 Opens the file as Unicode. TristateFalse 0 Opens the file as ASCII.
The OpenAsTextStream method provides the same functionality as the OpenTextFile method of the FileSystemObject. In addition, the OpenAsTextStream method can be used to write to a file.The following code illustrates the use of the OpenAsTextStream method:
function TextStreamTest( ) { var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 3; var TristateUseDefault = -2, TristateTrue = -1, TristateFalse = 0; var fs, f, ts, s; fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); fs.CreateTextFile( "test1.txt" ); // Create a file f = fs.GetFile("test1.txt"); ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForWriting, TristateUseDefault); ts.Write( "Hello World" ); ts.Close( ); ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, TristateUseDefault); s = ts.ReadLine( ); window.alert (s); ts.Close( ); }
