for i =1 to 10
file.writeline("this is line no "&i)
next
file.close
========script 2====================
set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set file=fso.opentextfile("file1.txt",1)
set fso1=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set file1=fso.createtextfile("file2.txt",2,true)
while not file.atendofstream
str=file.readline
wscript.echo str
file1.writeline(str)
wend
file.close
file1.close
===============================

It looks like you meant to use OpenTextFile with ForWriting (2) as the iomode,
with the create option enabled, in (default) ASCII mode. Instead you used
CreateTextFile with the overwrite option specified (2 is coerced to boolean
true) in Unicode mode. Then you read the Unicode file in ASCII mode and write it
out in Unicode again!

Yes, but what doesn't? ;-)

I once wrote an entire database in Perl using nothing but squiggles.

As a far, far aside ...
But remember, the point of VBS language, like all
BASICs, is to be a general utility language, easily and
broadly recognizable. Users with even rudimentary
knowledge are supposed to be able to get an idea
of what is going on, and more knowledgable users
can learn from others' scripts. It's not supposed to
be a highly specialized and coded language. (It's not
even as specialized and coded as JScript.) Personally,
I don't even like like regexp (though it's obviously
necessary some of the time when it's applied),
because it runs against this grain.
Oh well, the daily ranting is over ...

the correct response was " I could have done it with a punctuation mark and half
a squiggle." ;)
(By the way, you are absolutely correct. That isn't officially the point of the
language but it's pretty darned true anyway.)

Speaking of which ...
Has anyone seen a post from "name" lately.
I kinda miss his comet-like tours through

If his English syntactic skills were better, he would always be a hilarious
poster - of course, then they would lose a certain bite. ;)

days it is becoming more and more complex for example creating a file you
have to write lengthy code
set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set file1=opentextfile("file1",1)
as opposed to sweet Perl
open(FD,"<file1")
isn'ted cool , but biggest disadvantage of using perl in Win32 platform ,
since it is not raidly avabile as on unix and consume lot of resource.

problem was not VBScript: it was the Scripting.FileSystemObject model, which is
not always intuitive and doesn't wrap everything for easy use. If you used
WSH-hosted Perl (a possibility) you would have the exact same issues.
In my case, I've written several wrapper functions for FSO to make it dead easy
to read/write/append. Here's how I append data lines to a file. This is a
technique that completely wraps it up; this isn't "optimized", but it will work
adequately fast if you're not doing hundreds of thousands of line writes. The
best part is if you stick the procedure in your code library, it's a one-line
statement to append code.
AppendLine "C:\tmp\log.txt", "test"
Sub AppendLine(FilePath, sData)
'Given the path to a file, will append line sData to it
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")._
OpenTextFile(FilePath, 8, True, TristateUseDefault)
.WriteLine sData: .Close
End With
End Sub

Ok. Yes, some languages are more self-contained and
less object-oriented. This was epitomized in pre-object-
oriented DOS days (or still exists in some aspects of
non-micro computing, specialized chips, etc.). In the
late 80's, MS decided to make object-orientation part
of the GUI-based operating system. The objects have
changed to greater or lesser degrees with the evolution
of Windows.
The advantages to object-orientation are that the language
is adaptive to OS/object changes and (importantly for a
non-compiled script) is lightweight and quick in operation.
Self-contained languages put more code between you
and the objects that they access. They are slower unless
compiled, and have greater difficulty in being compatible
across versions.
I agree that the syntax of many objects is obscure. But
the objects are designed for multiple-language access,
and the nuances are necessary to allow the object to be
used for different purposes. In some cases, I too, think
the object designers did a sloppy job. But object-
orientation is simply a fact of life today.
For what it's worth, even in DOS days, much of the
programming was being done in MASM or in a mix of
MASM and higher-level languages. The last versions of
QuickBASIC included the ability to effect MASM code
in compiled apps, and QuickBASIC was always capable
of importing MASM objects. MASM was necessary to
achieve some of the effects that object-orientation permits
(and more - like direct access to hardware). But *nothing*
is more obscure than strings of pure assembly language
command code bytes.
