View Replies View Relatedhow can i write to a file and save to it by coding.
View Replies View RelatedWe have an existing ASP app that is doing a very simple form submission to an Access db. So it opens a connection does a write and closes the connection.
The problem is that every other form submission is failing because of an "Unspecified Error" - according to our IIS web server log.
I have 2 things I'd like help with.
1) Writing to a log file:
I'd like to write to a log file (either the web servers or a different one) from the server side code within the ASP app. So, once the code opens the DB connect I would like to know it was a success. Once it writes, I want to see the string its trying to put in, etc...
How would I do this in our ASP/IIS environment?
2) Catch errors:
If I'm opening a db connection to this access db, how can I be sure the connection is a success? does a value get returned that would indicate success/failure? if so how do I capture it?
I'm speaking of some type of try-catch system.
is there another approach I should be taking to debug this problem?
Im using this code to write information to a .txt file :

objTextFile.WriteLine("This line is written using WriteLine().")

View Replies View RelatedI'm using the following to write a file :

ExportFileName)
Set ScriptObject = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile = ScriptObject.OpenTextFile(filename,2,true)
Myfile.writeline exportString
MyFile.Close
I'm putting tabs in the exportString the C way e.g. " " but they come out
in the text file literally. How does one write a tab to a file with asp? (I
don't want an HTML tab!)
I am a web developer that deals with reporting.I am trying to make a print application so i can choose a few reports and then print them.I tried to do the window.print() but i don't want the print dialog box to come up.I am going to try and print from the server using WSH.

How can I, or is it possible to create a file with a .htm extention and have includes within that file? I am trying to do so through the following code but nothing is happening when I view the newly created file.

dim file

set file = fs.CreateTextFile(path & newFileName & ".htm", true)
file.WriteLine("<!-- #include file='header.htm'-->")
file.Close
This creates the new file but when I try to view it, the header information is not included, so how can I accomplish this?

I am trying to setup an ASP code to write a text file to the client side, not the server side, for the purpose where it will be email attachment.
The following code seems to only work on the server side and was wondering if there as an equivalent out there for the client side since I am trying to avoid potential interruptions on the server side:
Const TemporaryFolder = 2
Dim myFSO, WriteStuff, myAttachment, tfolder
Set myFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set tfolder = myFSO.GetSpecialFolder(TemporaryFolder)
if (right(tfolder,1) <> "") then
tfolder = tfolder & ""
end if
myAttachment = tfolder & "test.txt"
Set WriteStuff = myFSO.CreateTextFile(myAttachment, True)
I had to disable Script Blocking, afterwards it worked just fine. HTH Norton Script Blocking cause this problem. the 9o days testing product are finished earlier.
View Replies View RelatedI need to be able to write results from a form picklist to a file. I know I
can append the output at the end of the file but is there a way to add the
output to a certain place in the file. i.e Code:
I've created a form for users to fill in, and I want to be able to write the details of each form to a text file. Each file is named username.txt (eg. JohnSmith.txt or MikeStiletti.txt)
However, when the code below is processed i get a "Path not found" error. Now these files are on a web server and i am trying to write to my C drive. It would be great if I could create these files on the same web server too by just removing the "C:Surveys" on the bolded line. Code:
I have developed a windows 2000 based web-based
application which uses only HTML and JavaScript code for the
client side and C++ on server side .
Now i need to implement a feature to implement "writing the
log file" on the client machine for this application. As
JavaScript doesn't support client side file writing i think i need
to use ASP or similar language.
1. Is it possible to write on client machine using ASP??
2. If it is possible please thow some light on how to implement
this.
3. Will my code be stable if i embedd the ASP code into the exisiting HTML & JavaScript code?
Anyone know if this is possible? If so, on which page would the cookie be? .. On the page calling a function defined in the include file?
View Replies View RelatedI am using PWS/IIS5.0 on W2000 and trying to write to a
file outside the directorytree of Inetpub.
The file is created with
Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Every time I execute the ASP I end up with 403.9
I am not sure what the permissions on the directory I
should have??
Or could it be something else be wrong in my setup??
I am writing one line and for a reason I ignore it adds a line which is screwing up a few things.
<%
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
dim sLine sArchivo="switch.txt"
path = Server.MapPath("../Flash")
sFile = path & "" & sArchivo
if fso.FileExists(sFile) then
fso.DeleteFile(sFile)
end if
Set a = fso.CreateTextFile(sFile, True)
if request("radiobutton") = 1 then
sLine = "&ver=si"
else
sLine = "&ver=no"
end if
a.WriteLine (sLine)
a.Close

How come does the extra line come ? I seems I have done already a fews times and it never ocurred before.
I'm writing a asp file dynamically. The code works 70% or the time. It pulls info from access and creates the file -- for some reason though some characters (and I see nothing different about these) causes the following error on the line objfile.writeline

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 :

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:
When writing to a file, is there an equivalent to the HTML non-break space character? Using “ “ works okay if there are other characters on the line, but when you want several blank lines in a table, if you use “ “ these blank lines are ignored. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI 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.
