Here is my the relevant code:
<%
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fs.FileExists("index.stm") Then
CODE HERE
Else
CODE HERE
End If
%>
The problem is this: fs.FileExists("index.stm") always evaluates to false, even though I'm staring at the file "index.stm" as I type. In fact, I can open the file just fine, using the OpenTextFile() method. Checking to see if the file even exists is the problem.
Anybody have any ideas?
I have searched through the threads relating to FileExists, and have not found an answer (I did find one that dealt with using the FileExists method on a remote server, but that's not quite what I need to do.)
The script searches for all pictures in a particular folder on the server. The current script uses m:... as the path. The site will be transferred to a new host, and onto a shared server (so no more m:).
Here's the original snippet: .....
I am going crazy trying to figure out why the FileExists method of the FileSystem object returns false when the file passed to it DOES exist.
The FolderExists method of the same object recognizes the existence of the folder containing the files in question, but FileExists always returns false.
The following code always displays 'false' in the browser window, which indicates that it's not finding the file.
<%
filename="C:INSTALL.LOG"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
response.write fso.fileExists(filename)
%>
The file definitely exists - why it doesn't work?
I simply want to verify the existance of a file on the server,
if the file Exists
do something on the client side
otherwise
Stop executing and reload the main page (login).
To get the response of the FileExists I use a ShowModalWindow from a VBS call. The value returned works fine but only the FIRST time that it is called. Only if I restart the IE I get the correct response from FileExists. It seems a session related problem, infact the modal window has always the same session ID (unless IE is restarted). "Session.abandon" in the modal window code didn'T help.
I have been messing with FSO.FileExists for a while and have been looking into its limitations. On our server, we operate our directory in:
d:inetpubwwwrootintranet
and inside that directory is a VIRTUAL DIRECTORY by the name of employeeImages which maps to
otherserverfolder
So saying
d:inetpubwwwrootintranetemployeeImagesfile.jpg
IS the same thing as saying
otherserverfolderfile.jpg
The problem is, that when I set that path to a variable, called strPath and perform the following:
blnExists = FSO.FileExists(strPath)
it KEEPS returning as FALSE. So I had it output strPath. Sure enough it was the URL shown above. I cut and paste that into a window's location bar and boom, I'm taken RIGHT to the image.
So I'm thinking "Ok, FSO is a FILE SYSTEM OBJECT. Maybe it's limitations mean that it can only look at the local filesystem? Maybe it cannot see across a networked device? Maybe it cannot work with virtual directories?" I've done some looking around and cannot find any pages on limitations of FSO.
Dim filesys, test
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
test = filesys.FileExists("probat08at08-dank60apzipap072905.002")
Response.Write(test)
The out put is the word 'False'. However, the file is in that path. This is my first time trying anything over a network, checking files and such.
how to use FileExists to check to see if a file exists on a local server BUT what if I want to check if a file exists on a remote server (webserver)? If I enter "http://domainname/folder/image.jpg" it always returns false.
View Replies View RelatedWhen a file is local to the ASP application, I can use the following code to
test if the file exists:
Dim strFileName, blnFileExists, objFSO
strFileName = Server.MapPath( "MyFiles est.doc" )
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
blnFileExists = objFSO.FileExists( strFileName )
Set objFSO = Nothing
But if "MyFiles" resides on another server and I set up a virtual directory
in my ASP app to reference to it (e.g. "MyFiles est.doc" resolves to
server2F$MyFilesest.doc), the code would return False even if the file
exists on the other server.
The jist of what i want is the obj.FileExists (how it checks for a file on the server) for the client machine.
The client will be scanning something that will put a pdf file into a shared folder on their machine (it will be the same path for all clients). I need to get the code* to pull that file so that i can take the data on the pdf.

I have downloaded the DiscIDCalc program from CDDB. I've used it a lot because I've written my own application for my CD collections (keeping track of the track information of each CD, track duration etc). I've already got all my CDs into the application, I'm now just going through each of the disc again just to add in the DiscID information. I do it by running the DiscIDCalc program, generating the DiscID, and then then copying and pasting this DiscID into my application and then save it.
if anyone has successfully generated the DiscID within an asp page?
Now I have to have my browser up and this DiscIDCalc program up. Just want to know if there's a way to incorporate the two together (even if it means I'm not using the DiscIDCalc anymore.). This DiscIDCalc has a documentation for its DiscIDCalcDLL.dll but it's not something that I can CreateObject with, so I'm quite clueless... I don't want to use VB to write APIs for that
I use query string to search for records by using GET method. This method will generate querystring automatically by using the form name. Using search field together with drop down is fine but the problem is when i didn't enter any keyword or left the search field blank it won't display any result.
Unless I put "%" in the search field. How do I make the querystring change to "%" whenever the field is blank so that all records will be displayed.

When using ActiveX Combo Boxes, can you use the GetString method to populate the control? I currently am using AddItem, however, it is taking a long time to process. I know that GetString works well to improve the performance. Here is my code while using AddItem:
while not rsClient.EOF
Response.Write chr(9) & "MenuForm.lstClient.additem " & chr(34) & replace(rsClient.Fields("Client Name").value,chr(34),"'") & " [" & trim(rsClient.Fields("Client Number").Value) & "]" & chr(34) & chr(13)
rsClient.MoveNext
Now this is a weird one. I'm having a problem with a system in development. When I post data from a form in IE 5.01 it works fine, but in IE 5.5 it refuses to post the data to the server and in IE 6 it's scatty -- works sometimes but not others. Anyone seen this before?
Edit:
By the way -- this is normal VBS/ASP running on IIS 5 on an NT server
can values of variables be transfered through response.redirect onto the next page

I have a .asp page that uses the post method and it works fine on my computer using iis. But when i put it on the web server (it has windows NT4) it wont work.
I've read that you have to do something to allow the post method on the server.
i know nothing about windows NT4 but can get access to the server. can someone please let me know what i have to do to get this to work?
Just to let you know the post method is for ssending a login and pass to another page that search a database for the record. If there is another way to do this that does not show the variables in the url please let me know. i am also willing to make it so that everything is on the same page so i dont have to pass anything.
Based on what the user selects in a combo box I need to find the value from another column in the same record. This is what I am using:

response.write("The Price for the Component Not Found")
else
curPrice =rsPrice("Score")

when we should use GET method, when we should use POST method? GET method only sends limited amount of data, and it will show the data as part of URL. POST method won't show the data as part of URL, and can send any amount of data.
