File processing Open, Seek

Hi,

How to process a file using OPEN and SEEK?

I want to open a file in VBScript for processing. I could not found a
function simlar to seek in the file system object.
Is it possible to use the OPEN statement and seek statement in VBScript.

Thanks

GTS

Using a TextStream object provided by an FSO method, you can do a forward
only seek via the Skip or SkipLine methods.

Or you can use an ADODB.Stream object that has a read/write Position
property that has the same effect as seek.
