I have used all the variables and funtions of jscripts to read a local txt file and show it on a tile (1 line)
what is the proper code ?
I use this:
function ReadFile()
{
var FileOpener = new ActiveXObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”);
var FilePointer = FileOpener.OpenTextFile(“C:Zeeshan.txt”, 1, true);
FileContents = FilePointer.ReadAll(); // we can use FilePointer.ReadAll() to read all the lines
alert(FileContents);
FilePointer.Close();
}You don’t need the FileSystemObject, emre has added a helper for text file reading.
One sec will find…
var listFile = file.ReadFromFile("C:\\Pinglog.txt");
To read specific lines youll need additional bits but if only one line just that with the file location should work.
is not a valid file path…
You need to use either double \ or something else which I cant remember right now.
C:\\Zeeshan.txt
If its in root of C drive.
mistyping 
,
return listfile variable from function so function returns a value other than undefined.
Also don’t forget the () on the testfield
Sorry for asking , is the code right ;
No, add a line of
return listfile
at the end and test with
readnow()
Also every / should be double \ not just the c;
i would appreciate a little help please 
Two answers have been given that explain what you need. You must have the function RETURN something. This is usually the last line of the script.
function nowplaying(filepath) {
var artist = file.ReadFromFile(filepath+'\\Snip_Artist.txt');
var song = file.ReadFromFile(filepath+'\\Snip_Track.txt');
if (song=='') {
return '<size 14>Click here to start Music</size>';
}
return '<italic>' + song + '</italic><linebreak/>' + artist;
}
And someone knows where to find these bits?
