Question

I require assistance with script writing with JScript .js file (not javascript) that will read records from a tab delimited text file, sort them by lastname then firstname then age, and place the ordered records in an excell spreadsheet.
The Script needs to be ordered by last name, firstname, then age. There needs to have a sort method, a split method, arrays and the use of FileSystemObject and ActiveXObject in the code to produce this .js file.
I would appreciate any assistance anyone can give me with this, as I am really new to JScript and am a bit lost as to how to start.

Microsoft MSDN has dictated that Windows Scripting Host with any language in its recognition do not have file IO capability, you need a full true programming environment to do anything you said. You can wrap that program in an ActiveX object as you wish, but there is no direct IO you can do to a file.
