View Replies View RelatedI have been asked to store text files in a DB as an OLE Object, (don't ask why just what they wanted) Anyway, I have got the files going into the DB. But now I am stuck on how to retrieve the OLE object, convert it back to usable text, and dumping it into a variable, to use in my ASP code.
I have googled response.binaryread, binarywrite, and other such keywords, but have come up with a blank of this particular problem, can anyone advise me on the correct approach to the above.
In ASP, using PerlScript, how do you read and write to files?
View Replies View RelatedI'm planning a little asp prog that will allow me to read&write .ini files.
meaning, read lines that are:
key=value
and maybe even read from groups (optional):
[group 1]
key1=value1
[group 2]
key2=value2
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:
i had a vbscript that will read the text file from the bottom to the top, and after reading the file, it will be displayed in the screen, and the code look like this:

I'm using ADODB.Stream to open a binary file on the server and write
it down to the browser using Response.BinaryWrite. It's working fine,
but i need to make some changes to the binary data before it is send
to the browser.
I'm trying to use REPLACE, but it's not finding a string that i know
it's in the binary file. Using InstrB i've found that the search
inside the binary data is being done in a Unicode format, but i don't
know how to make an ascii search&replace operation on binary data.
Does anyone know a website with a guide on how to upload binary data to a MySQL database using ASP?I have a script that i spent a lot of hours on getting to work,but after i upgraded my MySQL server it doesn't work anymore

I'm trying to do the upload via AspSmartUpload,with a script that opens the record and uses .AddNew to the recordset.
How is it possible to upload binary data (like images or MIDI files) to the server? the code to (if necessary) a password protected FTP account?
View Replies View RelatedI write the code as follows. But I cannot print the binary data as meaningful data format. any idea?

response.binarywrite rs("abc")
I am having the following error when submitting dynamic data to an SQL Server database:
String or binary data would be truncated. This is of course happening when longer datafields are being inserted. I've tried changing the data types in the database itself, but that does not solve the problem. Do I need to change the data type of the field before it is submitted to the database?
i have the following update statment that this error is coming from i dont realy understand why it is thorwing the error up becuase when i was testing it i change the letter 'c' to and 'a' so not sure why it would need truncated. what does this error actual mean or what do i look for Code:

I'm using conn as ADODB.Connection object. when I write:

How can I insert binary data to a ms sql server 2000 table without using adodb.recordset?
I have an asp page that uploads binary files. I am trying to pass the binary data to a function in a dll (written in c++) to process it. The file I'm testing with is the range of bytes from 0x00 to 0x51. When the data is passed to the function, it is passing it as the string "A^? ".
which is what is printed out when I do a Response.Write. How can I pass the binary data to the function? A Response.BinaryWrite prints out the correct contents of the file. Why won't it pass it as binary?
I have images stored in database how can display them in asp?
View Replies View RelatedI have images stored in database how can display them in asp?
View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to submit an image object, along with some other text fields to
another web server from within an ASP page but am stuck on getting the image
to be submitted with the form.
In a bit more detail:
1. When this particular page is executed, I want the server to pull an image
from a db (stored as a BLOB) along with a few other text fields. This part
is easy and I have no problems with it.
2. I want to submit the image, along with the text fields to a second
webserver which typically accepts its input from a form (ie, the second
webserver usually has a webpage where a user enters some information into
form and browse for a file. When clicking submit, the form fields along with
the file are submitted to the second server).
The reason for this is that I'm trying to migrate from one web based photo
album to another which uses a data structure that is complicated and
difficult to interface with, so I'm using the web based image upload
functionality of the new album. Code:
Can't find anything in MSDN that explains this ASP error; I'm trying to post data into sql dbase, and this error points to the SQL execute line. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to setup an ASP page to POST an image across to another page- essentially simulating what a browser does when you use <input type=file> in a HTML form.
I'm able to correctly setup the headers etc and do the POST, but I'm unable to include the binary data of the image.
The only way i've been able to do it is if I base64 encode the image. I'm using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to do the POST, and I can't seem to do the .send with a form body that includes the binary data of the image. Code:
Has anyone else found a memory leak using ADO streams to access binary data held in a database. I have searched through this forum and have not come across anyone else, so maybe it is just me.
The scenario is as follows:
Windows 2000 SP3
MDAC 2.7 SP1
IIS5
MySQL 3.23
MyODBC 2.50
If I query the database and do a response.binarywrite everything works fine and no memory leak. eg. response.binarywrite myrecordset("blobfield")
If I read the very same BLOB field into a ADOstream I then get a memory leak in DLLHOST.EXE of how big that binary field was. ie If the picture is 140k in size DLLHOST.EXE increases its memory size by 140k.
This keeps on happening until DLLHOST.EXE is something like 250 MBytes in size at which point it stops working. Quick restart of the IIS Web service and I get all my memory back.
The command I am using to get the data into the ADOstream is picturestream.write myrecordset("blobfield")
I have also tried putting the binary data into a variable first before inserting it into the stream:
set x=myrecordset("blobfield")
picturestream.write x
The stream is closed and set to nothing at the end of processing. Everything is cleanly shut down. Through testing I know the memory leak occurs once the data has been written into the stream. The stream is correctly created as type binary.
The stream problem I am encountering does not seem to be limited to ASP, I tried it using Visual Basic to create a COM component to do the same job and still got a memory leak.
So the questions are:
1. Has anyone come across this before or fixed it?
2. Is there another way of getting binary data out of MySQL, something like the opposite of LoadFile?
I have wasted so much time on this problem but cannot find, having searched Microsoft's knowledge base and the rest of the web, any reference to the problem.
I cannot figure this out for the life of me. All the tutorials I've gone though give code (and from what it looks like, wrong code) with absolutely no explanation?
My ultimate end is to read the xls file into a mysql database.. but I need some method, way or idea of actually doing this. Presently the data is an a .mdb database (so I can save it to different formats) but I cannot use the .mdb itself to upload the info (server disallows reading and writing from .mdb).
I've looked all over and there is no detailed method of doing this (all I really need is just the basic code for connecting to a .xls sheet (excel sheet) and then reading the data from a line and displaying it on the screen (there is no present tutorial that explains that, least that I can find)
I know the basic way of doing this when you have a static set of
spreadsheets but I need to be able to process different spreadsheets
every day. These spreadsheets are sent to us by an outside auditing
firm without named ranges. They have a consistent format. Is there a
way to read a specific set of cells without having a named range? Or
is there a way to name a range with ASP? I am open to any options
here. Going through and creating named ranges is the only thing that
wont work sicnce it would take more work than processing the files by
hand.
I wanted to retrieve email from mail server based on POP3 protocol through ASP.refer some good tutorial or example code doing this.

Is anyone aware of a 255 character limit when reading data from a particular Excel cell? I'm experiencing when pulling straight text from an Excel spreadsheet, which otherwise works fine. Right at 255 characters, the data is truncated and I only see that bit of information.I've searched Google and came up with a few registry modifications, neither of which fixed the issue.
