Problem With Writing/reading Text File
Here is what I have setup:
- a form that updates a text file.
- for example, in the form I have two fields, title and story. then, this write to a textfile (i.e. theinfo.asp). the update.asp file looks like this:
TSO.write "<%" & vbCrLf
TSO.write "title = """
TSO.write Request.Form("title")
TSO.write """" & vbCrLf
TSO.write "story = """
TSO.write Request.Form("story")
TSO.write """" & vbCrLf
- so, essentially it is creating an asp file with two variables.
- this works fine, it updates the file and i can call these variables in other pages. however, when i call these variables into a form : old versions of the variables populate the form: Code:

Can this be done? For example, in the line below. There may not always be a & objRS("ShippingAddress2") and I'm wondering if there is a way to use an if/then in there some how. If there is no data in that field then I need to pass over this part completely & objRS("ShippingAddress2") & "|"
I'l have several instances where I need to do this Code:
fname.WriteLine("hd2|" & objRS("ShippingName") & "|" & objRS("ShippingAddress") & "|" & objRS("ShippingAddress2") & "|")

I would like to know how I could accomplish this without using DB. There's a long text file named "TEST.TXT" The TEST file contains special character 'º' which will be used as pagebreak. I want an ASP page that will read the TEST.TXT file and split it into multiple web pages with navigation control. (eg. <FIRST<PREVIOUS>
<NEXT<LAST)
If it is possible

I have a form that updates a text file. This text file writes variables (i.e. username = tom). This file is used to preview an HTML page and when you go to the form the variables are populated into the form fields again.
For some reason when someone else modifies the text file (using the form) I only see the old contents in the form fields. When I look at the preview HTML file, however, everything is fine.Why doesn't the form re-populate with the new info?

I need to create something that will read a text file and send e-mail statements from that text file. I know this is a basic application, but I am not sure where to start with this. The text file already contains all of the information for the statements. It is one file that starts with the customer e-mail address and then separates each statement by an <eob> marker. I need to be able to browse to upload the file and then have the application cycle through and generate all of the e-mails. I don't need to do any formatting to the text file, just read it and send the e-mails. The server currently uses CDOSYS to send other e-mails from a shopping cart application.

If you take medication for your blood pressure, you may need to be wary of adding certain pain relievers to your system. A class of pain-relieving anti-inflammatory medication often used to treat arthritis may interfere with a common blood pressure medication, according to research. The hash is just for demarcation. As I havent worked much with FileSystem can anyone help me how to go about acheiving the same.

I'm having a hard time to open/write to a txt file from a .asp, the code is right, but, looks that the iis 5.0 is messing with the file system.
once the execution gets to the point of :
Set filetxt = filesys.OpenTextFile(sFilePathAndName, ForReading, False)
the browser just hangs forever, If I do the request to the same .asp several times then the IIS hangs, and can not even stop the service(a bug in IIS). Code:

I have an application which was successfully writing data from submitted forms to a text file in a directory - in this case:
/data/findata.txt
This was fine because the forms lived at the root level with this directory.
Since then I have added enabled the forms to be used on subdirectories :
/subdirectory/myform.asp
I've used the same code for server.mapparth("data") etc - but instead of locating the directory at the root of the server called "data" it looks to the current directory- doesn't find it and creates another! eek!
What I need is a way to say "right, it doesnt matter what level you are at at the moment, always look at the root level /data directory"...
This has to be fairly dynamic - on the development server here its got a different file structure than on the live server (ie, it lives another level down again on the physical drive)...
Anyone got a good idea on how to look back up?
I do have one way to test which level they are at - but I feel that its a bit 'weak' - I have an ID that tells me if they are working on the upper or lower levels (ie, anything other than 1 is a lower level) - whilst I realise I could use this in the test I'm not sure if its going to be 100% fool proof to base this criteria on this ID.
Therefore I was hoping for a better way using the server.mappath etc...

Does anyone know if it's possible to write and retrieve variables from a text file??
I know how to use the FSO to create text files and write data to them etc. I just don't know how to write a variable to a text file, and retrieve it at a later date??
I would like similar functionality to a cookie. The reason I can't just use a normal cookie is because the data needs to be permanent and I can't risk the cookies being removed off a users machine.

the source code is:
<%
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("") & "/learn.txt")
mystring=a.readAll
Response.Write ("<pre>" & mystring & "</pre>")
Set a = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
%>
The output is:
abc
ABC
i don't understand this:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("") & "/learn.txt")
what should be insect in ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")?
and what should be insect in (Server.MapPath("") & "/learn.txt") ?

I have to make a site search function for my website. User types a keyword, and the search function searches through all the static pages for the keyword. The result of the search has to display the URL relating to the keyword, which the user can click to read the contents.

how to write a text file to a mapped drive or network drive. In my script, I’m currently writing the text file to a local folder on the server temporarily until I can figure this out.
So far I have tried to use the mapped drive letter, network path, etc. to get this working. I believe all the permissions are in order (I hope) as well. No matter what I have tried, I just get a Path Not Found script error. I know this has to be possible, just I’m missing something … probably something right under my nose but I just can’t figure it out.

I would like to dynamically add a text as a watermark on images.
I managed to do that with aspsmartimage but as the watermark is added
when the image is sent to the browser, it takes too much ressources on
the server, due to a big number of images to diplay simultaneously.
Is there a way or an other component to do that more efficiently. I
can't add the watermark when uploading the file because it has to be
written when the image is displayed.

I'm using a TextArea box to submit the following...
A123,1
B123,2
C123,3
Results are...
ID: A123
ID: 1 B123
ID: 2 C123
ID: 3
I expected something like...
A123 1
B123 2
C123 3
For the sake of understanding, why are the results like above?
In the end, I want to insert these values into a table.
A123 into Field1 .... 1 into Field2
B123 into Field1 .... 2 into Field2
C123 into Field1 .... 3 into Field2
Where do I start?
