SkipLine Method

Skips the next line when reading a TextStream file.

                      object.SkipLine( )

Remarks

The object is always the name of a TextStream object.

The following examples illustrate the use of the SkipLine method:

function SkipLineDemo()
{
   var fso, f, r
   var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForWriting, true)
   f.WriteLine("Hello world!");
   f.WriteLine("JScript is fun");
   f.Close();
   f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForReading);
   f.SkipLine();
   r = f.ReadLine();
   return(r);
}
Function SkipLineInFile
   Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
   Dim fso, f
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)
   f.Write "Hello world!" & vbCrLf & "VBScript is fun!"
   Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading)
   f.SkipLine
   SkipLineInFile = f.ReadLine
End Function
