METHOD:
TextStream.Skip
object.Skip
(characters)
This method causes the file pointer to skip the number of characters specified in the argument
when reading a TextStream file.
It can be a positive or negative number allowing you to go forwards or backwards
in the text.
Code:
<%
dim filesys, text, readfile, contents
set filesys =
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set text = filesys.CreateTextFile("c:\somefile2.txt")
text.WriteLine "A quick example of the Skip method"
text.close
set readfile =
filesys.OpenTextFile("c:\somefile2.txt", 1, false)
readfile.Skip(10)
contents =
readfile.ReadLine
readfile.close
Response.Write "From column
11
the line contains the following text - '" &_
contents & "'."
%>
Output:
"From column 11 the line contains the following text - 'ample of the Skip method'."
