Lowsy code snippet. There are no comments that tell what anything does. For example, what specifically does the ReadAll function do, and are there other functions that also read from text files (Read, etc.). Without any explanation, the code sample doesn't teach anything.Anonymous

As very basic FSO sample code it is not meant to teach now to use the API in detail - it just shows an example of implementation. This sample was provided since its processing handles the basic need to read an entire file - such functionality is commonly needed for testing. This blog is more geared to APIs related to working wiht Exchange and Outlook rather than with ohter APIs such as FSO. For specifics, check MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com/.../czxefwt8(v=VS.85).aspx) or search on "Scripting.FileSystemObject".Anonymous

Thanks, the snippet has all is required, the code is pretty much self explanatory (to those with basic understanding...)
