if I had a form using the input textboxes using username and password. how do I use the .asp language to remove the line from a .txt using the following format:
I have an Access DB with newsletter preferences in it. What I am trying to do is select small groups to send a custom newsletter out to. So my localhost criteria web page goes to the Access DB and pulls the email addresses that match my current criteria. I then write that list out to a file (newsletterlist.txt). Maybe that is my problem, but I wanted to do that so if my machine crashed while processing, I would know where to recover it. I had looked at arrays and dictionaries but dictionaries aren't good from what I found for hundreds of entries and arrays I can't keep track of..argh.
Anyways, I then wanted to loop through the file (newsletter.txt) find the next email address, with it I can query back to the DB and get preferences and assemble the email and out the custom newsletter goes.
I've seen where MS says deleting a line using the FileSystemObject is not possible, though wanted to see if anyone has found a work around.
Performance isn't that much of an issue for me, as I figured I'd set the thing to running and go to dinner! So anyone have suggestions - even if it means taking the text info to an array, somehow delete one of the addresses and then put it back to a file...anything that can one by one delete the addresses so I know that it all has worked as there would be no email addresses left in the file.
Client said "Yea, our current host does PHP and all that" and of course they don't. I know PHP, so hopefully it is somewhat similar to ASP. Anyway...I want to know how to take information from an HTML form and write the info to a text file. It is going to be *very* basic as I only need to write one line to the text file.
It is just so the client can type in the monthly loan rate, or something like that, and save that info to a text file. Then, show the text file on all the pages.
I am working on a safetywear deduction system and i need to perform the following functions: write to a text file and read from a test file and wrute to a table in the database. I need code to write and read to a text file in asp please.
Greetings- <br><br>I have a site that is kind of a portal site- many sites within a single site. Users of the site must use a single logon page that redirects the user to a predetermined "subsite".
Each "subsite" has a few different session variables that are used in varying ways to display information germaine to that user. <br><br>My customer (the portal owner) wants users to be able to render any page on the site to a .PDF that is then sent via email to the user.
I can render an HTML file to PDF via a .COM object, but the problem is that I cannot figure out how to render the .ASP page to HTML. My initial thought was to use MSXMLHTTP to GET the page, but when I do this, the GET method always returns the logon page.
<br><br>What I'd like to do is have a link to a processor page that just "captures" the HTML as it's sent to the browser and writes it to a static HTML file, which I can then easily turn into a PDF. Anyone have any ideas?
Field type is varchar and some data is unicode like this "•õ" It is a chinese. How do I transfer the data I retrive from DB and then I can write it into an text file with its proper chinese word using FileSystemObject. Or any other way ?
I have an asp page that writes to a text file. Can someone tell me what the correct permissions should be on the network - so it's safe from various users coming in to manipulate any files?
I have a form mail script that sends an email and then writes to a text file using Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").
The problem I am having is that the information needs to be saved in a Password Protected Directory. When I try to save the info it gives me a permission denied error.
I had my hosting company change the permission on the directory and the script was working ok but now it isn't.
Is there a way to pass the username and password in the script so I don't have to worry about the hosting company messing this up?
I have a text file that has two lines in it, the first line gives item labels, my second line gives values for those labels. I would like to use ASP to present this data on a web page. I also want the page to reload every 10 seconds so that any updates to the text file would be relfected on the web page.
I previously used PWS on Win 98. Nothing special had to be done locally for a directory that contained an Access database.
But on the Web host I had to do this:
Access Permissions | [Go to proper folder] | Anonymous account given permission of Change
Now I've just gotten a PC with Win XP Pro and have just installed IIS. My development Web sites work fine locally except whenever the ASP page tries to write data to the database, then there is an error message at the line that first tries to write data.
What can I do to modify my settings?
I read something about NTFS, but my PC's drive is not set up with that. Is NTFS something that I need or is there hopefully another solution?
trying to set up my first windows hosted site with database i have a folder db with my database and i'm using macromedia can i use macromedia to set write permissions for this directory?
we're working on a cms system that allows the admin to upload files to the server - the host (supplied by the client) says that opening write permissions means that windows is open to exploits.
we're using FSO to move the file anyone know a way of locking down this so its not 'open to exploits' ?
In Windows 2000 I need permissions set so that I can write a text file to the folder when the asp page is loaded. Right now I have only these permissions set:
Administrator: Full System: Full Everyone: Read and Execute, List, Read Network: Read and Execute. List. Read
Is there some other "user" that I can give permissions to to write a text file to the folder that doesn't allow write permissions to IUSER_MachineName?
i need to set read/write persmissions on an Access DB, can access IIS folder permissions -> not alleviating issues can't access explorer security -> why is this? ad infinitum require UPDATE operation on access DB, this erroring out with : Operation must use an updateable query.
I am developing a small website using ASP scripts to format data retrieved from an Access database. It will run on a Windows 2003 server supporting FrontPage extensions 2002 hosted by the company 1&1 with only limited server configuration via a web based control panel.
My query relates to the ASP security model and how it relates to FrontPage options for setting file access on a database file. If you know of any online documentation covering the following issues I would be grateful for links to it.
For various reasons (session logging, synchronising data with a master database etc) I need to be able to write data to the database file. Essentially the problem is this: how do I make this possible without giving public access to the database file? Code:
Is it possiable via a ASP to set (NTFS) permissions on files not on the IIS server?I'm sticking together an ASP to create our new user Home/Profile dir file structure. The script is running in anonymous user mode using an account which has full perm on the file severers.
It's creating the file structure OK, but when it comes to the file permissions, CALCS direct or CACLS in a .CMD doesn't appear to be able to set ther permissions when invoked from the ASP. It does however work for the user when logged on the server's local console.
I'm trying to write a script that will allow validated users to download a file that has specific ntfs permissions. Here's a summary:
Scenario: 1) The name of the file is "binary.zip". 2) I've created a local account on the server called "dl_user". 3) dl_user is the only account that has permissions on binary.zip. 4) I've written a script that validates several people to access a web page that has a link to binary.zip. However whenever they click it, they get prompted for a username and pw. If they enter the "dl_user" credentials, it works.
Problem: I don't want these people to be prompted for the username and pw. Instead, I'd like IIS, through some ASP mechanism, to pass the dl_user credentials in the background so that the users are completely unaware of the account that has NTFS permissions to the file. Is there any way to do this?
I am trying to use this bit of code to change the permissions on a file. Apparently it should work but it isn't. I am getting no error messages just nothing is happening. The path to the file is definitley correct. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Code: <% strFileOrFolder = "D:WebRoothtdocsProjects est.txt" strUserName = "Everyone"
I am methodically working my way through the Sitepoint 'Build your own ASP.NET website' and have been successful in every lesson up to page 279. However I've come stuck when trying to add information to an Access Database. When I try to do so I get the message:
Operation must use an updateable query. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have tried the solution described in the book but still get the message. I am using IIS and XP Professional. The database works for queries so how do I get it to accept information entries?
I need to read a SQL Server table into a Web Page and within the Web Page to permit my users to make changes to the records, delete or add new records and then save the entire contents back to the SQL Server table back.
The functionality I am looking is almost the same as In the SQL Enterprise Manager whereby I can choose a table open the table and then return all rows and I can maintain the same and save it back to the SQL Server table. I want almost a similar web interface to such a functionality.
Even if not a generic functionality as the SQL Enterprise Manager table maintenance appreciate if somebody can share the code with a sample how I can do it in ASP pages + T-SQL if need be.
I cannot find any information on how to insert an image into a block of text and have the text wrap around the image. All if the text and graphics in the client's site are being pulled from the database using response.write. When I write straight HTML, it is easy to place an image into a block of text and align the image right or left, having the text wrap around the image.
