Regarding " reading text files"

spraveens · October 14th, 2003, 07:26 AM

Hi friends

I have a text file "temp.txt" and I would like to use asp to read the first 3 lines and display using response.write.
the following prg reads the whole file

<%
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject ")
Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("testread.txt"), 1)

do while f.AtEndOfStream = false
Response.Write(f.ReadLine)
Response.Write("<br>")
loop

f.Close
Set f=Nothing
Set fs=Nothing
%>

But I need to read the first 3 line only ,
please help

Try a simple loop like this:

Code:

Dim n
For n = 1 To 3
  If Not f.AtEndOfStream Then
    Response.Write(f.ReadLine)
    Response.Write("<br>")
  End If
Next
