Column Property (FileSystemObject)
Read-only property that returns the column number of the current character position in a TextStream file.
Syntax
object.Column
Remarks
The object is always the name of a TextStream object.
After a newline character has been written, but before any other character is written, Column is equal to 1.
The following examples illustrates the use of the Column property:
function GetColumn()
{
var fso, f, m;
var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForWriting, true);
f.Write("Hello World!");
f.Close();
f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", ForReading);
m = f.ReadLine();
return(f.Column);
}
Function GetColumn
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
Dim fso, f, m
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)
f.Write "Hello world!"
f.Close
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", ForReading)
m = f.ReadLine
GetColumn = f.Column
End Function
