How to read and write textfiles using javascript

You can read and write to a text files using javascript.It is working in IE6 and IE7.Just you need go to tools ->internet options ->Security -> Custom level -> then mark Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe as Enable.
<script language=javascript>

function WriteToile()

{ 

    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

    var fileOpen = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\test.txt",2,true); // Open the file for writing

    fileOpen.WriteLine("Some Text added");

    fileOpen.Close();  

}

function ReadTextFile()

{

    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

    var fileOpen = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\\test.txt",1,true); // Open the file for writing

    var filecontent = fileOpen.ReadLine();

    alert(filecontent);

    fileOpen.Close();

}

</script>


Note:The “Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe” option should be selected as “Enable”.Goto Tool Menu in browser ->Internet Option ->Security -> select Local intranet -> Click Custom Level ->go to "Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" and mark as enable
