I was wondering why I can't get this script to write to the text file that I have listed. Here is the script:

Option Explicit

Const ForWriting = 2

on error resume Next

Dim WshShell, NAVDefKey, RegSplit, SystemNAVDef, formattedDEF, vavDef, strCommandLine
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

NAVDefKey = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs\NAVCORP_70")

RegSplit = Split(NAVDefKey,"\")
SystemNAVDef = RegSplit(5)

WScript.Echo SystemNavDef


Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\avlisting.txt", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine (SystemNavDef)
objFile.Close

What this script does is it checks a reg entry for Anti-Virus information and I want to write it to a Text file located on the C:\ drive. When I run the scipt I get the echo but the text file is not being written to. I am perplexed because if I write this script as 2 different scripts and pass in the info that I want it works fine. Yet it doesn't this way. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tim

you didnt dim the objfso or objfile variables.

Status: offline 		Hey folks... Thank you so much for your help. I can't believe I forgot to dim out a couple of my variables. Doh... Also what does the 'TRUE' at the end of the OpenTextFile mean?

Again, Thanks for all your information and help.

Tim
