' Create An instance of the 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
