Question

Using ActiveX – FileSystemObject I would like to:
– Open an existing file
– Read the first 28 bytes from it and store them in var str1
– Read the next 1000 bytes from it and store them in var str2
– Create a new file with this content: str1 + text_param + str2

This is my Javascript code:

function exportFile(text)
{   
    var fso, f2;
    fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    f2 = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\\default.js",1)
    var str1=f2.Read(28);
    f2.Skip(28);
    var str2=f2.Read(1000);
    f2.Close;
    f2.CreateTextFile("C:\\new.js",true);
    f2.Write(str1+text+str2);
}

But it doesn’t work. I get this error message (in Spanish), refering to the line of the f2.Close. It says, literally, “The object does not accept this property of method”. I tried removing this line and the error goes to the next line (CreateTextFile).

Could you help me? THANKS

You’re missing the () after f2.close.
