FileSystemObject

2 New Member
HI All,

Now i am writing a vbscript using the filesystemobject to read the contant line by line of registry file (*.reg). Unfortunally, what the contant that show for the first line is "ypw" and the continuous is empty. Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.


My code as below:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Set file = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  2. Set mfile = file.OpenTextfile("c:\registry.reg")  'registry.reg is export from regedit
  3.  
  4. While NOT mfile.AtEndOfStream
  5.     a=mfile.Readline
  6.    msgbox a
  7. Wend
  8.  
  9. mfile.close
