Sends a specified number of blank lines (newline characters) to an output stream.
object.WriteBlankLines(intLines) |
Arguments
- object
-
StdOut or StdErr text stream objects.
- intLines
-
Integer value indicating the number of blank lines you want to write to the stream.
Remarks
Calling the WriteLine method without supplying the strText argument is equivalent to calling WriteBlankLines(1). The StdIn, StdOut, and StdErr properties and methods work when running the script with the CScript.exe host executable file only. An "Invalid Handle" error is returned when run with WScript.exe.
Example
The following code demonstrates the WriteBlankLines method.
Visual Basic Script | Copy Code |
---|---|
Dim StdIn, StdOut Set StdIn = WScript.StdIn Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut Do While Not StdIn.AtEndOfStream str = StdIn.ReadLine StdOut.Write "Line " & (StdIn.Line - 1) & ": " & str StdOut.WriteBlankLines 1 Loop |
JScript | Copy Code |
---|---|
var stdin = WScript.StdIn; var stdout = WScript.StdOut; while (!stdin.AtEndOfStream) { var str = stdin.ReadLine(); stdout.Write("Line " + (stdin.Line - 1) + ": " + str); stdout.WriteBlankLines(1); } |
