Closing an open file from VBScript

[Zooby12]

I would like to close an open file from VBScript. So far with what I have, it keeps on telling me I need an object. I'm not sure how/what object to create for this instance. I'm very new to VBScript and still trying to get the hang of it with the object concept. Here's the little I have (although I don't expect more than one line more):

Dim myfile
set myfile = "..\..\load\pems\ofp\nvm_translator\nvm_tutorial_pems.pptx"
myfile.Close

something like this

set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8 
'open the input file for reading
set oInFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile("xml_input.xml", ForReading)
'open the output file for writing
set oOutFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile("xml_output.xml", ForWriting, True)
...
'process files
....

'close the input file
oInFile.close
'close the output file
oOutFile.close

look and try some working examples of file processing here:
