To set the file path and open the text file.. 

fileName = "D:\Project\ABC\vbfile.txt"

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile(fileName)

Now to read it line by line, use below code

Do Until f.AtEndOfStream
  WScript.Echo f.ReadLine
Loop

In order to read it character by character use this code

Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
    strCharacters = f.Read(1)
    Wscript.Echo strCharacters
Loop
