Dim write
Dim fileSysObj, tf, read

' Read the read.txt

' Store the file name where the Information is stored into a variable called read

read = "read.txt"

' Retrieve the fullpath of the read file

read = LEFT(Server.Mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")), InStrRev(Server.Mappath
(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")), "")) & read

' Create an instance of FileSystem Object and store it into a variable called fileSysObj

Set fileSysObj = createObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' Check whether the read file exists

IF (fileSysObj.FileExists(read)) Then
' if the file exists, then open it for reading
Set tf = filesysobj.OpenTextFile(read, 1)
read = tf.ReadLine
tf.Close
ELSE
' if you can't find read.text, display default message
read = "I can't find the file read.txt! So this is my default message."

END IF
