In my script, I want to read the information from a text file. As it is going to read from any text file on the disk, I have no clue whether the actual text file will be an ASCII, or an Unicode file. I am using the CreateTextFile method to open the text file. This method does require me to determine if I am going to open one or the other of the file formats. Is there any good work around for this in VBS? Some way for me to open a text file, and have it properly read, no matter which of the two formats it has been saved in?

Try to open an UniCode file, having CreateTextFile set to ASCII, will recognize all the lines, but does not work properly when I try to perform textual operations; like Mid, and InStr. Yep, even computers have their multi-lingual challenges. Smile. Anyone has a good idea here, I would be thankful.
