Review

In this chapter, you learned about the scripting FileSystemObject, which can be used to manipulate the files and folders on a computer. You learned about the object's flexible object hierarchy, which emulates the hierarchy of files and folders on your computer. You saw an example script of how the FileSystemObject can be used to move and copy files, delete them, and even open and read through existing text files. The FileSystemObject is flexible enough to earn a place in many of your scripts, and you'll see it in many of the example scripts in upcoming chapters.

COMING UP

You have finished learning VBScript, and you're ready to pull together everything you have learned up to now. In the next chapter, you'll design, build, and test a script designed to automate the process of archiving and rotating IIS log files. In Chapter 14, you'll begin working with advanced scripting topics, including Active Directory.
