All,
Unfortanetly VB dosent have any equivelent to eval() so  I'm tring to figure
out how to convert a section of my vb into jScript. I'm at best a novice
with javascript and I can't find any jscript examples of how to use
FileStream and StreamReader.

Basically the problem comes converting this line - Dim footer_file As New
IO.FileStream(temp, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read) and everything
that comes after it. I've tried:
   var footer_file = new IO.FileStream(temp, IO.FileMode.Open,
IO.FileAccess.Read);
and
   var fs : FileStream = new FileStream(temp,IO.FileMode.
IO.FileAccess.Read);
but I'm getting Compilation Error's, so I know its a syntax error but I
don't know how to fix it.

Below is the code I'm tring to convert. Any help would be greatly
apreciated.

<%@ Language="JScript" %>
<%
 var path  = Server.MapPath("anyfile.asp");
 var accountRoot = path.split("root");
 var temp = accountRoot[0] + "root\\_includes\\temp.txt";

        Dim footer_file As new IO.FileStream(temp, IO.FileMode.Open,
IO.FileAccess.Read)
        Dim myReader As new IO.StreamReader(footer_file)
        Dim footer_temp, footer_txt As String
        footer_temp = myReader.ReadToEnd()

  var footer_txt = Eval(footer_temp);

<h3><%=footer_txt%></h3
