View RepliesI have code that loops through a directory reading files..
now the problem is that files are constantly being uploaded and I only want the file system object to read those that are finished being uploaded.
How can I check the properties of the file to see if it's in middle of being written before i read the file?
This question has to do with MS file search but it is happening only with
..asp pages, so I though someone programming with .asp pages has experienced
the same situation.
I'm trying to find .asp pages with a certain table name (i.e.
"renewalInfo" )
When I ran the search I get no results. I know that I have that string in a
couple of pages. My file system search engine is working fine with other
file types, like Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.
I tried typing the string outside the <% %> tags and when I do the search I
get the file results, so it seems like if the search engine in my file
system was not searching inside the <%%> tags. Code:

Im trying to do something very simple with the file object. I try to access it but when I open the page through the browser my server doesnt seem to respond...it just wont load the page, much like what happens in an infinite loop, the status bar slowly moving up forever. I would be very grateful for ANY suggestions you may have to the problem. Ive attached my code below,
SET objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
SET objFile = objFSO.GetFile(Server.MapPath("log.txt" ))
Response.Write("log.txt was last modified " & objFile.DateLastModified)
SET objFile = NOTHING
SET objFSO = NOTHING ...

View Replies View RelatedI have a server which has 100 template websites on it, each with unique domains. This may grow upwards to 500 websites. As I have been publishing websites to the server now and then I come across a bug in some code OR wish to enhance an aspect of the site. With the exception of a file or two, every site on the server has the same folder hierarchy.
Example, every site has a directory called toolbox. If I make a change in one file located in a particular site, can I write a script that some how woud copy that file and iterate through ALL sites inserting that file as necessary. I don't expect someone to show me how to do this, but rather tell me if it is a logical approach to managing such a large number of sites.

How can I do that,If I have to do something with fso or, I can sepratly sort the listitem where fso stores the list.
I have a web site that uses NT authentication. It accesses a file on another server using FSO. The user has full control of that file yet when trying to access it via the website they get a Access Denied error. Shouldn't IIS use the current security context (which has rights to file) to access the file?

I am building an upload script that overwrites any file with the same name, however the file could be a jpg, gif, bmp etc. Using 'fso.FileExists ' i can find if a file of the same name exists and remove it. The file will be saved as strMemberId.strFileExt. There is a possibility that file xyz.jpg may be re-uploaded as xyz.gif thus while the new image will be written to the folder the previous file will not be removed.
I am trying to find the best way of finding the file name of a file without the extension so I can delete any files that may exist with the same name but a have different extension. Is there a way of calling a wildcard in asp?
eg ' fso.FileExists(Server.MapPath("../tempfolder/" & strMemberId &".*" ))
' - tried this & several other combinations but it does not work.
The only other way I can see of doing it is to pass the file name into a string, strip the extension off it and then build an array to loop through the possible extensions but I am sure there is a better way.
I have script which is to check if a folder is existed. Even though the folder (virtual directory) is existed but the script objFSO.FolderExists() always return false.
The script as following:
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FolderExists("../images/thumb") Then
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(strPath))
response.Write("Folder exists")
else
objFSO.CreateFolder(("../images/thumb")
response.Write("not existed")
end if
whenever i am using the File System Object on IIS my ASP page tends to "hang", but doesn't report any errors.
View Replies View Relatedif it's possible to tell if a file is already open. If I have a file on the server that I just want to put log information to, and I don't want to have collisions obviously. Can I tell if the file is open already?
I would have the code loop until the file has been closed and then go ahead and do its thing. Alternatives are welcome. Databasing is an option, but I'd like to know anyway if the file can be "read" for open state.
I have an include file - myUtilities.asp - containing 20-30 functions.
Would it waste less ressources if the functions were in an object instead?
There's about 20 pages including the file.
I have recently built a web interface to handle files on my network at work. There has been another system in effect for quite some time, and we can't phase it out just yet. In this older system there is a lot of data pointing to files in a particular directory.
PHP Code:
// doesn't work. mypath=" heserversomedirectoryThat Has. a Decimal" // works mypath=" heserversomedirectoryThat doesnt have a Decimal" Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fs.Getfolder(mypath) Set fc = f.SubFolders
I have an ASP Page that reads in the contents of a directory on the web server. My page hangs when it gets to 'MyFolder=set fso.GetFolder(FlrPath)'.
The FldrPath holds the correct path and fso has been set to
'Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")'
what could be causing this?
Does using the File system object multiple times across the page to check if relevant files exist use a lot of memory/server resource etc?
if this were the case, I was going to change this to check a DB field instead. ie when a file is uploaded then this is logged accordingle in the DB, then it can be this field used to check as to whether to display it or not - or are either equally.
i am unable to create new folders using file system object. the createfolder method doesnt work....the progress bar becomes slow...and no folder is created....but the other methods such as folderexists work....i have also checked the permissions...all folders have read/write..
