Returns true if the file pointer is positioned immediately before the end-of-line marker in a TextStream file; false if it is not. Read-only.

object.AtEndOfLine

The object is always the name of a TextStream object.

Remarks

The AtEndOfLine property applies only to TextStream files that are open for reading; otherwise, an error occurs.

The following code illustrates the use of the AtEndOfLine property:

[JScript]
function GetALine(filespec)
{
   var fso, a, s, ForReading;
   ForReading = 1, s = "";
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   a = fso.OpenTextFile(filespec, ForReading, false);
   while (!a.AtEndOfLine)
   {
      s += a.Read(1);
   }
   a.Close( );
   return(s);
}
[VBScript]
Function ReadEntireFile(filespec)
   Const ForReading = 1
   Dim fso, theFile, retstring
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set theFile = fso.OpenTextFile(filespec, ForReading, False)
   Do While theFile.AtEndOfLine <> True
      retstring = theFile.Read(1)
   Loop
   theFile.Close
   ReadEntireFile = retstring
End Function
