Visual basic - txt as string for email script

Question

I'm trying to fix up a mailscript.

I pretty much need something like

cmBody = "c:\body.txt"

It's not that simple, but you get the idea.

The txt file is the content of the email.

I hope you guys can help me out.

Can you be more specific and detailed? you are running around the question... :$ — bonCodigo

You can do like this:

    Dim fso As Object
    Dim contents As String

    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    contents = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\test.txt", ForReading).ReadAll()

I got it.

This is the code I ended up using. (If any of you even understood the question)

Open "C:\body.txt" For Input As #intFile
strFile = Input$(LOF(intFile), #intFile)
Close #intFile
cmBody = strFile
