Reading an Existing File using FSO - prabhu656656 - 09-09-2009

Hi,

I have a file from which I have to read. I have this file at C:\D & S\Users\...\XYZ.txt

I want this path to be assigned to an arugument "File_path" and I have to use "File_path" several times.

I have gone through FileSystemObject but there all the examples are Creating a file and then reading from it but here I already have a file that I have to read from..

I am trying to use this statement -

Code:
Set MyFile = CreateObject("scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(file_path, ForReading)

Please guide me through as to how can I assign the file to "File_path"

Thank You.

@Prabhu : try with the below ex.

For Reading the values from Textfiles :

Code:
Dim fso, ts

 Const ForReading = 1

 File_path="C:\D & S\Users\...\XYZ.txt"

 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting. FileSystemObject")

 Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile(File_path,ForReading,True)

 msgbox ts.ReadLine

 ts.close
