Scripting NSLookup with Output to CSV

I recently needed to get IP addresses for a number of host names.  In trying to do this, I found that it was very difficult to find a script that would do what I needed.  So, after much searching and work, here is the script that I have come up with.  Hope this helps someone.

‘==========================================================================

‘ NAME: NSLookupwithCSV.vbs

‘VERSION:  1.0.0
‘MODIFIED:  Doug Neely
‘DATE:  02/13/09
‘       This script will use a csv file and run it through nslookup.
‘        It will output the text to a CSV file with the hostname,ipaddress

‘This was originally found on an internet forum and modified by me.

‘==========================================================================
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2
Const ForAppending = 8
‘==========================================================================
‘Configuration Block
‘ Input file location
strCSVFileLocation = "C:\Scripts\" ‘KEEP TRAILING SLASH!
‘ Full path to input file

strInputCSV = strCSVFileLocation & "DNSInput.csv"
‘ Full path to output file
strOutPut = strCSVFileLocation & "DNSLookup.csv"
‘===========================================================================

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (strInputCSV, ForReading)

Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream

   strIPAddress = objTextFile.Readline
   If strIPAddress <> "" Then

       strComputerName = NSlookup(strIPAddress)
       ‘If strComputerName = "" Then
         strComputerName = strIPAddress
       ‘End If

    Else
       ‘ here you might want to report somewhere else that the script was
       ‘ not able to connect to the computer

       WScript.Echo "Empty Field " & strIPAddress
    End If

objTextFile.Close
wscript.echo "files are done"

         ‘Line can be prefixed with "Address:" or "Addresses":
