Variable in a text file

Variable in a text file

I have a text file mycontrol.txt

In the first line have : 125.09

That is the variable value.

That variable must be in a path : X:\My documents\125.09\125.09.proyect.doc

I have to launch a bat or vbs program from several places and I would like to know how can I propose extracting from the text file the variable with the script and propose in the path......

Thanksss

Something like this maybe?

Dim FileNum as integer
Dim myvar as string
dim mypath as string

FileNum = Freefile()

Open "mycontrol.txt" for Input as #FileNum

Line Input #FileNum, myvar

Close #FileNum

mypath = "X:\My Documents\" & myvar & "\" & myvar & ".proyect.doc"

Looks fine, but I don't know if the program launch the .doc


Finally I have to launch the document.

I'll try the code and comment
