METHOD:  TextStream.Skip
Implemented in version 2.0
 
object.Skip(numberofcharacters)

This method causes the file pointer to skip forward the integer number of characters specified in the argument when reading a TextStream file. The skipped characters are simply ignored.

Code:
<%
dim filesys, text, readfile, contents
set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set text = filesys.CreateTextFile("c:\somefile2.txt")
text.WriteLine "A quick example of the Skip method"
text.close
set readfile = filesys.OpenTextFile("c:\somefile2.txt", 1, false)
readfile.Skip(10)
contents = readfile.ReadLine
readfile.close
Response.Write "From column 11 the line contains the following text - '" &_
                                contents & "'."
%>

Output:
"From column 11 the line contains the following text - 'ample of the Skip method'."
