Chapter 27. Library: I/O Utilities
The I/O utility library provides functions for handling input and output. With these functions, you'll be able to read files, write files, obtain input, and display output. Through batch script (.WS) files, you can access these utility functions in any of your scripts. The sections that follow show the source for the library, as well as how the library can be used.
Examining the I/O Utility Library
The code for the I/O utility library is shown in Listing 27-1. When using this script from JScript, be sure to pass path information in JScript format with double slashes as folder separators. With other scripting languages, you normally don't have to use double slashes.
