Status: offline 		I'm having a bit of an issue, I have a text file with computer names in it and I am trying to read in each line and then perform a ping, then move to the next line, repeat. Of course logging in there as well.

file is like this:
test1
test2
test3

I have found many examples of reading in a single name which has been declared in the script or entered in a text box but none that read in a text file.  Any ideas or samples that show how this is done?

Thx.

Set and open the file and then read in the content.

.Readline()

Status: offline 		I would ordinarily say that you should go do a search of the forum before asking for people to write a script for you.
But, since this was one of the very first questions I had on vbscripting (how to read a file, line by line), I'll give you a real simple script that you can start with.
If you are interested in learning, and not just having someone else write all of your scripts for you, I would suggest that you read the sticky posts at the beginning of this forum for a start.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the input.  I have been searching for many days off and on to find the help I needed. I have read this forum and several others but never really found exactly what I needed.  Many people ask how to get input into a text file, that part I have created.

I'm a little taken back by the way that it was percieved that I wanted someone to write my script.  For the hour or so searching this forum for answers, I have seen many people ask a question in the same manner as I yet never really been told to what I was told to do.  The internet and forums are not new to me but vbscripting is.

Next time before I post will add a preface something like " I don't want you to write my script and I have been searching for hours for some answers yet I haven't found anything that I feel works or works like I need it as I am new to vbscripting."

Thanks for the info and yet somewhat cold shoulder.

Status: offline 		I am sorry you feel that we gave you a cold shoulder.  I can only guess that since you are new to VBScripting that you must not have noticed the other posts that contain code examples of almost the exact information you were asking about.  We do everything we can to help anyone here, we only request that you search the forum first.  We get mutiple questions on topics we have answered many times in the past.
