Microsoft® JScript™ FileSystemObject Object | Language Reference Version 2

See Also Methods Properties

##### Description

> Provides access to a computer's file system.

##### Syntax

> y = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

##### Remarks

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

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