FileSystemObject To Read Text Files
Can I use FileSystemObjects to Read Text Files on my server rather than just on my local drive?

View RepliesI have several text files on my server and I would like to combine them into one text file by just appending each file to the end of the combo file. I know this should be possible, I just don't know how to approach it. Some combination of OpenTextFile and CreateTextFile?
View Replies View RelatedI want to read textfiles with ASP. But I want to do this in a special way.
I want to set a variable, for each line.
So for example:
Dim line1, line2, line3, line4, line5
line1 = Line 1 of the text file
line2 = Line 2 of the text file
line3 = Line 3 of the text file
line4 = Line 4 of the text file
line5 = Line 5 of the text file
How do I have to do this? .....
Quick Question: Using the FileSystem Object in Classic ASP is there any way to read the files in a folder in the order they were created?
Dim ObjFSO, ObjFile, ObjFolder, x
Set ObjFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ObjFolder = ObjFSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("../myfolder"))
x= 0
For Each ObjFile in ObjFolder.Files
Do while x <10
Response.write(ObjFile.Name & " - " & ObjFile.DateCreated)
x = x+1
Loop
Next
This script reads in the first 10 files found in the designated folder, but how can I be sure of getting the 10 most recent files? It seems that the default ordering is by file name.
The only method I have at the moment is to read in ALL the files attributes into Arrays and performing a Bubble Sort. This gets increasing inefficient as more files are added to the folder I am reading from.
Is there any methods in the FileSystem or Folder Object which will allow me to sort the files by DateCreated or Modified before selecting the first 10 files I find?
I know this is going to be blindingly simple but I've had one of those days where the more I search and try, the further away from finding the solution I am!
What I'm trying to do is really simple, but the last part of it I can't seem to get right... hopefully someone will spot it straight away.
<%
fPath = Server.MapPath(".")
qDate = DateAdd("d", -7, Now())
Response.write qDate
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Folder = objFSO.GetFolder(fPath)
For Each i In Folder.Files
If i.DateCreated <= qDate Then
'objFSO.DeleteFile(i.Name)
Response.Write i.Name & "<br>"
End If
Next
Set i = nothing
Set Folder = nothing
%>
As you can see, I've got down to selecting all the week old files no problem, but when I come to execute the 'objFSO.DeleteFile(i.Name)' line - I either get file not found or nothing at all.
Something to do with the ServerPath?

View Replies View RelatedHow can I use ASP to both read and write to a TXT file?
View Replies View RelatedI need to do something very basic in asp. What I want to do is have one page that has a text box, and a button... the user can type whatever in the text box, and click submit, and it will create a txt file. Every time the button is pushed it overwites the file...
Then on a seperate page, whenever the page is loaded, it reads from the file and posts it on the page..I think this is very basic, but I'm very new.... I need to write it in standard ASP. One other thing that would be helpful is to have a limit on the amount that the text box will hold.
im making a proj. that would read ini or txt files.. and would display the content of that file in a combo box..
ex.
aaa
bbb
ccc
im currently using this "<!--#include virtual="//path/filename.ini"-->" but the problem is, it would display all the text on that file..
is it possible to retrieve the content and display it in a combo box per line?
ex.
line 1 : aaa = list.index(0)
line 2 : bbb = list.index(1)
line 3 : ccc = list.index(2)
i was wondering if it is possible to read an excel file from the client side and for example, print the cells info in a <table> using ASP of course
I have one that makes this but, i have to indicate the fisical location of the file (C:inetpubwwwrootexcelfileexmpl.xls), wich means, my machine.
IIS cannot read files in a directory reporting that :
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6)
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Fso.GetFolder'
This has to do with Scripting.FileSystemObject.
I make sure the scrrun.dll is properly registered with regsvr32.
Still the problem persists.
Previously I do not know what I did right once in permission setting and
managed to display the said files but it went away after tweaking the
permission for make other functions available.
I scoured the web and this problem is a perrenial one. Many many suggestions
have been made even in expertsexchange site but no real solution. I don't
understand why it is so difficult to have this file system service up and
running.
I have client who has database full of crap. One field in the "property" table is imageurl. I have been able to successfully extract only the file name from the string, such as "2030323.jpg". All images are stored in a directory called "listings". What I am trying to do is to loop through the recordset, and read each imageurl.
If there is an image file in the "listings" directory, then delete the file. It appears that some fields contain imageurls that no longer exist in the listing directory. Here is the code I have so far, I almost had it, as it told me at one point the file didn't exist. Then I screwed up the code and this is where I am at: Code:

View Replies View RelatedWhen using ASP's FileSystemObject to create text files, I am unable to get user submitted text (in Hebrew) to save as anything other than "?????". The text file is being saved in Unicode and setting the CodePage in ASP proved unsuccessful. Strangely, hard coded Hebrew text in an ASP variable does add to the text file correctly.
Any ideas of why this happens and how to get it to work correctly?
I tried to read a text file from my local com, but it keep on loading and loading, after tat, i'll need to restart my IIS... im sure tat the directory of the txt file is correct... The code is running very well in another com, is there any kind of permission/ something i missed?
View Replies View RelatedI would like to allow my customers to upload their log files so that I can analyze them. Using ASP, I've found ways to:
1) upload files using the standard form elements and save it to my server using:
Code:
<input type= file>
2) from the file on my server, i can parse the text file and return results to the user
However, I would prefer not saving hundreds of random text files on my server. Is there a way that I can see the contents of the uploaded text file using ASP without saving it to the server? Is there something using the filesystemobject that allows me to do this?
I have a database that was originally in Excel. After modifying it, I have saved it with .txt and another one with .csv format. DB.txt (Text (Tabl delimited)(*.txt)
