I have an asp file upload facility on my website and I now want to add a timestamp to the name of each file uploaded to my webserver to ensure no clash of names.
I have no idea how to code it so egfile.txt will arrive on the server as egfileYYYYMMDDhhmmss.txt (or something similar).
Is it possible to do?
I am uploading files to my webserver using an asp upload script and would
like to add a timestamp just before they are saved to the server.
This would mean that filename.txt on my server would be uploaded to the
webserver as filenameYYMMDDhhmmss.txt or something similar.
I have a form that gets a filename from a db like so
<FORM METHOD="POST" encType="multipart/form-data" ACTION="pic_delete.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="File1" value="<%=rstemp("filename")%>">
<input type="hidden" name="ImageID" value="<%=rstemp("ImageID")%>">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="cmdSubmit" VALUE="Delete" ></form>
when I submit I get the error message "File not found"
So a did a respnse write to write my filename and found it is now called 2006_Apr_19-83955.23.bin It seems to be the time as it changes each time I try and get the filename to write...
this is the code on my delete page
<%
Dim Upload
Dim FileName
Dim Folder
Set Upload = New clsUpload
FileName = Upload("File1").FileName
response.write "Here is the file " & FileName & " name <br>"
Folder = Server.MapPath("..country") & "" & strPathToSave
response.write "Here is the folder " & folder & " name"
Upload.DeleteFile Folder & FileName
'Upload("File1").SaveAs Folder & FileName
Set Upload = Nothing %>
The folder name comes out right, just the filename changes.
does anyone have any functions that can emulate the timestamp functionality available in PHP? I know this feature is not built in ASP, that's why I was asking for a set of functions that anyone made for emulating this feature. Its quite handy as storing date/time as a timestamp is quite beneficial than just storing it as DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS format.
View Replies View RelatedI've got this timestamp (369318968) that I BELIEVE is generated by an ASP page, possibly an ASP.NET one. I'm not sure though and I don't have access to a server that supports ASP to see if I can generate a timestamp that looks like that, so I'm asking for help here.
Does 369318968 look like a timestamp generated by ASP or ASP.NET? Would it be possible to pass that timestamp to the timestamp functions of ASP to try and get the regular format back?

im trying to find what code i need to change the user_timestamp field of my database to the correct current server date and time by a SQL query
im trying to use

sqlremove = "UPDATE fib_note SET fib_note_actdone = 1 WHERE fib_note_id = '" &Request("id") &"' "

I currently have entries in my dbase with time stamps. Does anyone know how I would display only those records with the time stamp that reflects a particular day. For example I want to display all records from today which would be 8/23/2004 on the page.
Im assuming this has something to do with the Date () function but i dont understand how it could incorporate it into code.
I'm looking for a way to check if a directory has any filenames with 'w9' in it, and if so print 'yes' in the appropriate place. My database has a field called CustomFieldFilesDir where the appropriate folder structure is already entered for each person ex. 'p:john doe'. I've searched and found scripts that look at extensions but not the file names themselves.
View Replies View Relatedi have this form to upload a document to a folder on the server. i have a field where you browse the files on your computer to upload to the server. once that field is chosen i would like another field to be populated automatically with only the document's name, without the path extension on it. does anyone know how to go about doing this?
View Replies View RelatedMy problem is: i need to write an ASP page which first checks whether
the user has permissions to download a ZIP file, and then streams the
file itself if the user is allowed to see it.
I have succeeded until
this point, but the client browser asks to save the file with the
original filename (and ASP extension). Obviously this would mean
making the downloaded file unusable at client side, unless I tell the
site user to manually rename it, but this is not a solution.
So I ask you: is there any way for an ASP page to stream data to the
browser and have it saved with a default file name and extension which
are different from the page's ones? Code:
I want to have a form where there is a textfield and a Browse... button to the right of it. I want the user to be able to press the Browse... button and select a file and then that filename be returned to the textfield.
I don't want it to upload it or anything like that...I just want to know the filename that the user has selected. Also, when the user presses the Browse... button, I want it to automatically go to a certain place.
What string function(s) would I use to extract just the filename from an URL?

I've created an upload application that allows a user to upload a file a space on the web server.
What I want is when a user selects the file to upload, when the upload process takes places, a random number is generated and added to that filename.
I work out I can add the code:
intrandomnumber = Int((1000000-1+1)*Rnd+1)
but how do you do the change to the filename when it uploaded as I can change the filename name but the physical filename name would be the filename held on the user PC?
I am storing URL in a database for a 'sort of' directory type website.The <a href> is built from the recordset of URL's which is all working no problem, easy stuff.What I have found is going to be necessary in some cases is to trim the URL back to just it's www.abc.co.uk address for the link display.
I still want the actual link to go to it's long 'deep linking' location, but there is limited room for displaying a URL that could be a hundred chars long.
I'm making an error tracking system.I want to include a file (or function) at the top of each page which gets the A) current file name B) directory the file is in. In PHP this is $_SERVER( PHP_SELF )
On a side note, why is it that you can type "PHP SERVER FUNCTIONS" in google and get wonderful results, whereas "ASP SERVER FUNCTIONS" returns garbage?
am trying to upload a file and at the time try to rename the file to autogenerated name.
View Replies View RelatedOne of the things I do is do my testing on an alternate address, then store the file as the regular address after it tests correctly, but since I might mention the test page in various forums when I ask questions, I leave it uploaded just in case someone later sees the link and clicks it.
So far, my kludgy way of handling it is to have a variable called "thispage" and set it equal to the page I'm working on, so when it links to itself, it links back to the page in question.
Is there a way of automatically testing for this value instead of manually defining it? I tried a quick Google search, but I didn't know what to call it. I assume it might be in the same general collection as the HTTP_REFERER item.
I coded a simple asp-script to force a file-download. (ex. dummy.doc). In IE6, NS4.7 and Opera 7 everything works fine and the file can be easily downloaded. But NS7 renames the filename in the dialogue-box to dummy.doc.asp . How can I prevent that?

I have an ASP page that causes Excel to be loaded on the client PC with the text sent from within the page. An excerpt of it is shown below:
With Response
.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
.Write(strResponse)
.Flush
.End
End With
where strResponse is the text to be displayed in Excel. This all works fine and as expected, but the only problem is that the file is opened in Excel on the client with a filename that reflects the page from which the information originated. Is there any way of specifying the filename using MIME, for example if I wanted the file to be loaded in Excel as "myfile.xls"?
Is there a way to automatically copy the filename of an uploaded file to a database field?
i am trying to upload files to a webserver. When i send the file of any .ext i want the filename to contain the filename and date&time in the filename filenamedatetime.xxx
the following is my code piece to send the file:
If FileName <> "" Then
FileName = Mid(Filename,InstrRev(FileName, "")+1)
set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Filesystemobject")
set fle = fso.CreateTextFile(server.MapPath(FileName))
' write the data
fle.write DataString
fle.close
I'm uploading a file to my server, and I retrieve the filename. Now I can print out the filename with response.write(filename) but when I try to insert the filename into access I get a "cannot be a zero-length string." error. I'm assuming its because the filename was read in using binaryread. So how would I convert this back into a string?
