The following example illustrates how to use the do...while statement to repeat a drives collection.

function GetDriveList(){   var fso, s, n, e, x;   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");   e = new Enumerator(fso.Drives);   s = "";   do{x = e.item();      s = s + x.DriveLetter;      s += " - ";      if (x.DriveType == 3)         n = x.ShareName;      else if (x.IsReady)         n = x.VolumeName;      else         n = "[Drive not ready]";         s += n + "<br>";      e.moveNext();   }   while (!e.atEnd());   return(s);}
