How to read and write into file using JavaScript?

Question

Can anybody give some sample code to read and write a file using JavaScript?

Answer 1

If you are using JScript (Microsoft's Javascript) to do local scripting using WSH (NOT in a browser!) you can use Scripting.FileSystemObject to access the file system.

I think you can access that same object in IE if you turn a lot of security settings off, but that would be a very, very bad idea.
