No. Those are PHP functions and they don't exist as standard JScript functions. To access files, you'll have to use the FileSystemObject or use API calls. You can take a look at the code snippet on the MPScripts.net site and use those functions to read from or write to text files.

Note: the functions in the snippet use a variable called 'fsObj', this can be declared in global like this:

code:

---

var fsObj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

---

but it's recommend you declare it per function to keep the memory usage low. This means, that instead of using:

code:

---

// Reads the full contents of a text file to a variable
function ReadFile (file) {
  var fileObj = fsObj.OpenTextFile(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + '\\' + file, 1);
  var contents = fileObj.ReadAll();
  fileObj.Close();
  return contents;
}

---

you use

code:

---

// Reads the full contents of a text file to a variable
function ReadFile (file) {
  var fsObj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
  var fileObj = fsObj.OpenTextFile(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + '\\' + file, 1);
  var contents = fileObj.ReadAll();
  fileObj.Close();
  return contents;
}

---

and so on for the other functions.
