Provides access to a computer's file system.

Remarks

The following code illustrates how the FileSystemObject is used to return a TextStream object that can be read from or written to.

Code

JScript	Copy Code
// JScript var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var a = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", true); a.WriteLine("This is a test."); a.Close();

Code

Visual Basic	Copy Code
' VBScript Dim fso, MyFile Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set MyFile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True) MyFile.WriteLine("This is a test.") MyFile.Close

In the example code, the ActiveXObject object is assigned to the FileSystemObject (fso). The CreateTextFile method then creates the file as a TextStream object (a), and the WriteLine method writes a line of text to the created text file. The Close method flushes the buffer and closes the file.
