AtEndOfLine Property (Windows Script Host)

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the end of a line in an input stream has been reached.

                      object.AtEndOfLine 

Arguments

  • object
    StdIn text stream object.

Remarks

The AtEndOfLine property contains a Boolean value indicating whether the end of a line in an input stream has been reached. The AtEndOfLine property returns True if the stream pointer immediately precedes the end-of-line marker in an input stream, False if it does not. The StdIn, StdOut, and StdErr properties and methods work only when the script is run with CScript.exe. If the script is run with WScript.exe, an error occurs.

Example

The following samples will read a line of text from the keyboard and display whatever was typed when the end of the line is seen.

Dim Input
Input = ""

Do While Not WScript.StdIn.AtEndOfLine
   Input = Input & WScript.StdIn.Read(1)
Loop
WScript.Echo Input
var input = "";
while (!WScript.StdIn.AtEndOfLine)
{
   input += WScript.StdIn.Read(1);
}
WScript.Echo(input);
