AtEndOfStream Property (FileSystemObject) 

  • Article

Returns true if the file pointer is at the end of a TextStream file; false if it is not. Read-only.


object.AtEndOfStream

Remarks

The object is always the name of a TextStream object.

The AtEndOfStream property applies only to TextStream files that are open for reading, otherwise, an error occurs.

The following code illustrates the use of the AtEndOfStream property:

function GetALine(filespec)

{

   var fso, f, s, ForReading;

   ForReading = 1, s = "";

   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

   f = fso.OpenTextFile(filespec, ForReading, false);

   while (!f.AtEndOfStream)

      s += f.ReadLine( );

   f.Close( );

   return(s);

}

Function ReadEntireFile(filespec)

   Const ForReading = 1

   Dim fso, theFile, retstring

   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Set theFile = fso.OpenTextFile(filespec, ForReading, False)

   Do While theFile.AtEndOfStream <> True

      retstring = theFile.ReadLine

   Loop

   theFile.Close

   ReadEntireFile = retstring

End Function
