Object.Skip(Characters)

Object	TextStream Object with this method
Characters	LongInteger Specifies the number of characters that DIAdem skips.

The following example opens a text file into which it writes a text line. Then the example opens the file for reading, skips the first ten characters, and returns the remainder of the text:

Copy script

Function SkipCharacters(sFile)
  Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
  Dim fso, oMyFile
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set oMyFile= fso.OpenTextFile(sFile, ForWriting, True)
  oMyFile.Write "This is a text"
  Set oMyFile = fso.OpenTextFile(sFile, ForReading)
  oMyFile.Skip(10)
  SkipCharacters = oMyFile.ReadLine
End Function
