  : Hai to all,
  : My Question is "Can We Modify a Text File in the Hard Disk with the help of Script(it may be any script). If we can, what send me the details." Please answer to my question.
  :
  
  
  JavaScript is protected from modifying hard drive files, but I believe there may be a way to get around it... NOT SURE on that one..
  
  otherwise, an easy way is via a web server, say IIS 5, and running a VB or J script, like:
  
  
  
  (VBSCRIPT in ASP)
  
  [code]<%
  'How to write to a textfile example
  '
  '(c) 2001 Programmers Heaven
  http://www.programmersheaven.com
  
  
  const ForAppending=8
  const TristateFalse=0
  
  dim f,fsobj,filename
  
  'Create a filesystem object
  Set fsobj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  
  'The path and filename to write to
  filename="c: estfile.txt"
  
  'Open the textfile, create a new if it does not already exist
  Set f = fsobj.OpenTextFile(filename, ForAppending,true,TristateFalse)
  
  'Write to textfile
  f.Writeline "This is a test!"
  
  'Close the file
  f.Close
  
  'Free the objects
  set f=nothing
  set fsobj=nothing
  %>[/code]
