ReadLine Method (Windows Script Host)
Returns an entire line from an input stream.
object.ReadLine
Arguments
- object
StdIn text stream object.
Remarks
The ReadLine method returns a string. The StdIn, StdOut, and StdErr properties and methods work when running the script with the CScript.exe host executable file only. An error is returned when run with WScript.exe. A line is a sequence of characters that ends with a newline character.
Note
Although this method extracts the newline character, it does not add it to the string.
Example
The following code demonstrates the use of the ReadLine method.
Dim StdIn, StdOut
Set StdIn = WScript.StdIn
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
Do While Not StdIn.AtEndOfStream
str = StdIn.ReadLine
StdOut.WriteLine "Line " & (StdIn.Line - 1) & ": " & str
Loop
var stdin = WScript.StdIn;
var stdout = WScript.StdOut;
while (!stdin.AtEndOfStream)
{
var str = stdin.ReadLine();
stdout.WriteLine("Line " + (stdin.Line - 1) + ": " + str);
}
