Hi, I'm trying to make a script that reads from a text file that the script created itself, However whenever it reads a file all I get is:

quote:

---

ÿþt

---

Here is the code I'm using to read it:

code:

---

            var thetxtFile = '';
            var Message = '';
            var TheFile = 'test';
            FSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
            if (FSO.FileExists(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\txtFiles\\" + TheFile + ".txt")) {
                    thetxtFile = FSO.OpenTextFile(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\txtFiles\\" + TheFile + ".txt", 1);
                Message = thetxtFile.ReadAll();
                Debug.Trace(Message);
            }

---

the file test.txt contains "test" in it.

May I suggest you read, and test the code next time?
Where do you think I found the code to read a file?

I have really no idea.. But Message could be a javascript array of the lines.

Also, try to change:

code:

---

var thetxtFile = '';
var Message = '';
var TheFile = 'test';

---

To:

code:

---

var thetxtFile = "";
var Message = "";
var TheFile = "test";

---

Edit: Now when I look at it it might be a unicode problem, but I don't see why, and cannot help you with that sorry.

I'm so sorry...You are right...However the code i(and you) have posted WORKS FINE for me...I don't know why it doesn't work for you

It is because the file is unicode not ansi.

Although that code still has some major bugs. And as such shouldn't be used just like that without understanding the problems and major limitations it has.
