Answer 3

To Write

Set objFileToWrite = CreateObject("Scipting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("C:\listfile.txt",2,true)
objFileToWrite.WriteLine(data)
objFileToWrite.Close
Set objFileToWrite = Nothing

OpenTextFile parameters:

<filename>, IOMode (1=Read,2=write,8=Append), Create (true,false), Format (-2=System Default,-1=Unicode,0=ASCII)

To Read the entire file

Set objFileToRead = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("C:\listfile.txt",1)
strFileText = objFileToRead.ReadAll()
objFileToRead.Close
Set objFileToRead = Nothing

To Read line by line

Set objFileToRead = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("C:\listfile.txt",1)
Dim strLine
do while not objFileToRead.AtEndOfStream
     strLine = objFileToRead.ReadLine()
     'Do something with the line
loop
objFileToRead.Close
Set objFileToRead = Nothing
