Can u read a number from a text file using JavaScript?

[TheIceman5]

I want to be able to read a text file and wreite to a text file that resides on a server that contains only 1 number. Is this possible with javascript or VBscript or do i have to write a cgi script?

JavaScript and VBScript are used only for client side stuff
(detecting Browser/Resolution/Redirection/........................)
If you want to read out fom a textfile which is on a server
you have to use cgi or PHP/ASP !
