How can I read files in my script?

CRT™ 3.0/SecureCRT® 3.0 does not offer direct support for reading and writing to files, but the ActiveX scripting language you are

Microsoft's VBScript and JScript languages both allow you to create instances of "filesystem objects" that offer a flexible interface for manipulating files.

The following VBScript sample code creates a filesystem object, opens a file then reads the file line by line and sends it to a server:

# $language = "VBScript"
# $interface = "1.0"

Sub main

' Open a file, read it in & send it one line at a time
Dim fso, f, str
Const ForReading = 1

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\file.txt", ForReading, 0)

Do While f.AtEndOfStream <> True
     str = f.Readline
     crt.Screen.Send str & Chr(13)
     ' Wait for my prompt before sending another line
     crt.Screen.WaitForString("linux$")
Loop

End Sub

The following JScript sample code performs a similar operation:

# $language = "JScript"
# $interface = "1.0"

function main()
{
        var fso, f;
        var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2;

         fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
         f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\temp\\file.txt", ForReading);

         while ( f.AtEndOfStream != true )
         {
             var str = f.Readline();

             // Append a CR to the line (decimal: 13, octal: 15).
             str += "\015";

             crt.Screen.Send( str );
         }
};
