Vbscript To Read Values From Txt File

[durex]

Been looking around and havent been able to find much about what Im hoping to do. I want to create a vbscript which will read in particular values from a 'config file'. This config file will have something similar to the following:

ProgName="prog.exe"
ProgPath="c:\temp"
ProgDesc="this is a prog"

and then repeated for multiple programs. is this something i can accomplish with vbscript?

Thanks!

Search Google with these two words. You're gonna get what you want

VBScript FileSystemObject

But be carefull, FileSystemObject is quite "vulnerable" object and is many times corrupted! That is why I am usually switching to other scripting methods when I want to work with FS and I need to be sure everything will be allright

@iceman

thanks a ton.. thats exactly along the lines of what Im looking for... I actually plan on using this for launching programs, not installing, so I'll be tweaking it a bit. You mind if I hit you up with some questions if I run into issues?

Thanks again!

I'll have to dust some cobwebs off of the grey matter, since I wrote more than a year ago, but I'll help if I can.
