Skips the next line when reading from an input text stream.
object.SkipLine |
Arguments
- object
-
StdIn text stream object.
Remarks
A line is a sequence of characters that ends with a newline character. 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. The position pointer moves forward to the point just past the next newline character. You cannot use the SkipLine method to skip backwards through a file. The SkipLine method is limited to the open for reading mode only (you cannot skip lines when writing to an output stream).
Example
The following code demonstrates the SkipLine method.
| Visual Basic Script |  Copy Code |
|---|---|
Dim StdIn, StdOut, Str1, Str2
Set StdIn = WScript.StdIn
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
Str1 = ""
Str2 = ""
For i = 0 to 4
StdIn.SkipLine
Next
i = 0
Do While Not StdIn.AtEndOfStream
If i >= 2 Then
StdOut.WriteLine Str1
End If
i = i + 1
Str1 = Str2
Str2 = StdIn.ReadLine
Loop | |
| JScript | Copy Code |
|---|---|
var stdin = WScript.StdIn;
var stdout = WScript.StdOut;
var str1, str2 = "";
var i;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
stdin.SkipLine();
i = 0;
while (!stdin.AtEndOfStream)
{
if (i++ >= 2)
{
stdout.WriteLine(str1);
}
str1 = str2;
str2 = stdin.ReadLine();
