Need a script to display line 17 of text file
As the title says. If you're feeling especially generous, you could toss in a few lines so that the user is prompted for the filename as well
Thanks [:D]

This should work... If you ever get generous enough to share your salary with me, I'll think about your other request.[;)]
Msgbox sReadLine("C:\Boot.ini", 2)
Function sReadLine(sFilePath, iLine)
Dim oFso, i, hReadFile
Set oFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Err.Clear
Set hReadFile = oFso.OpenTextFile(sFilePath, 1, False)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then sReadLine = "Error" : Exit Function
Do Until hReadFile.AtEndofStream
i = i + 1
sReadString = hReadFile.ReadLine
If i = iLine Then sReadLine = sReadString : Exit Function
If i > iLine Then sReadLine = "Not found" : Exit Function
Loop
If sReadLine = "" Then sReadLine = "Not found" : Exit Function
Set hReadFile = Nothing
Set oFso = Nothing
End Function
Function sReadLine(sFilePath, iLine)
Dim oFso, i, hReadFile
Set oFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Err.Clear
Set hReadFile = oFso.OpenTextFile(sFilePath, 1, False)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then sReadLine = "Error" : Exit Function
Do Until hReadFile.AtEndofStream
i = i + 1
sReadString = hReadFile.ReadLine
If i = iLine Then sReadLine = sReadString : Exit Function
If i > iLine Then sReadLine = "Not found" : Exit Function
Loop
If sReadLine = "" Then sReadLine = "Not found" : Exit Function
Set hReadFile = Nothing
Set oFso = Nothing
End Function

Got it to work with some tweaking. Thanks. [:D]
BTW...all I was looking for w/ the user prompt was this:
stringuser=InputBox("Enter User Logon ","Computer Name Finder")
Msgbox sReadLine("v:\users\" & stringuser & ".txt", 2)
(syntax may be off as I used a different function in that fasion)

I thought you wanted a fancy "Browse" dialog something like the following one.
Set oShl = createobject("shell.application")
Set oDir = oShl.BrowseforFolder(lngHwnd,sMessage, 80, 17)
Anyway, I'm glad it works. And thanks for the rating![:D]
