View RepliesMy server chokes when i try to use the filesystemobject. I'm running IIS v5.1 on XP Pro and it stalls when i try to create a text file or open one. Here's an example script that fails on the 3rd line.
dim filesys, filetxt
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set filetxt = filesys.CreateTextFile("C:InetpubwwwrootAIS estfile.txt", True)
filetxt.WriteLine("Here's the text...")
filetxt.Close
set filetxt = nothing
set filesys = nothing
Am not sure where to start troubleshooting .
I'm at a complete loss on what is causing this error. ActiveX Can't create object:"Scripting.FileSystemObject when executing the code below. Every example I've looked at is pretty much identical except for the file names.
What I am ultimately trying to accomplish is when clicking on a link check to see if a file with today's date exists if so link to it. If not, link to a file with yesterday's date.
Here's what my code looks like...
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to attach files (all formats excel, word, including power point, pdf, any other embebbed files ...) on a form and copy them on to a specific folder. The code works only for text, word and excel formats but not for pdf, ppt, embbedded files. How could I add these files also?
I used this in the code:
Set oF= FSO.CreateTextFile("FolderNameFileName", True)
i have made a site that allows users to log in and download or upload a file. but now i want to put in a drop-down menu so they can select which file they want to download. I want to populate the drop-down menu with a list of files in a directory using filesystemobject so it can change depending on what user logs in. can anyone give me some idea of how to populate the drop-down menu using filesystemobject.

Can anyone tell me which protocol (http/s, RPC) or
service (w3svc) is used when using FileSystemObject in an
ASP page?
I can't create textfiles.I could last week, and I can on my spare server. But this week, my production server freezes when trying to write to the file System.
set ObjTextStream = fs.CreateTextFile(str, fsoForWriting)
Where should I start to look for the difference? Both servers are W2KSP3. Both have IIS 5.I've run virus scans with the latest updates and no viruses found. I did receive an error about Windows File Protection needed to update some files, but those were ftp related.
is there any way that you can delete blank lines from a file or prevent them from displaying
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to read a file (in ASP....my first ASP project) and i get the following error
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6)
Object doesn't support this property or method
/CP_Site_C/Default.asp, line 15
and line 15 is
fileStream = fso.OpenTextFile(filePath)
and the complete code is:
Dim fso, fileStream
Dim HitCnt, filePath
set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filePath = "C:InetpubwwwrootCP_Site_CHitCount.txt"
fileStream = fso.OpenTextFile(filePath)
Ok, I've got several different RAW LOGS, which I want to anylise, with the FSO.
However, I haven't got the faintest idea how to actually do anything (usefull!). For example, I want to be able to set the date of a traffic rapport (e.g display details from 15/03/2003 'till 17/03/2003). I also want to get all the usuall stuff like pageviews, visits, visitors...etc
Can anyone help me how to get all this, and still maintain somewhat of performance of my webpages? Code:
This my code for practice:
<html>
<body>
<%
Response.Write("6 ")
dim fs,fname
set fs=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fname=fs.CreateTextFile("f: est.txt")
fname.WriteLine("Hello World!")
fname.Close
set fname=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
</body>
</html>
but I couldn't create the text file at all with no error warning.How can I do this?
I'm having intermittent trouble with the Scripting.FileSystemObject.Basically, I'm stress testing my ASP application and using the FSO to output lots of instrumentation/debug information to the same file.About 5 times within a 15 minute stress test, it returns "Permission Denied". I would think that this object is capable of asynchronous file open and writes.Has anyone else seen this issue and been able
to resolve it?
I have serious problem with FileSystemObject, When I try to create object it saysInvalid Class String
It seems that FileSystemObject is removed or currupted. Could any know how can I re-install FileSystemObject it or fix this problem
In my ASP (IIS 5.1), when I use oFile.OpenTextFile to open a file, the code stucks.
How can I fix this problem?
set oFile = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strServerFileName = "files/fieldmap.txt"
If (oFile.FileExists(server.mappath(strServerFileName ))) Then
Const ForReading = 1
Set fSubmit = oFile.OpenTextFile(server.mappath(strServerFileNam e),
ForReading, False) --->>
end if
I'm using the filesystemobject to list all files in a directory
Code:
Function lagsangliste()
dim fso, tekstmappe, file
set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set tekstmappe = fso.Getfolder(Server.Mappath("/claus/tekster"))
response.write "<p class=sangliste>"
for each file in tekstmappe.files
Makelink_fullscreen(file.name)
Next
response.write "</p>"
End Function
But the filenames seems to come in random order.Is it possible to order them alphabetically?
Can the FileSystemObject be used to return the document title?I am using a script to return all files in a folder, but would like to display teh document title instead of the filename. Is there a way to do this?

Im trying to get this filesystemobject code to access a different server then the one its sitting on. I am a admin on both servers. Is there anyway you can do this?
dim fs,fo
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fo=fs.GetFolder("")
Response.Write("Folder last accessed on: ")
Response.Write(fo.DateLastAccessed)
set fo=nothing
set fs=nothing
I havent heard of anyone trying this before, but I hope its possible.
How do you set the permissions to allow filesystemobject? I have already gone into iis and set the write permissions but that did not do it.Code:
set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set act = fso.CreateTextFile(server.mappath(file_being_created), true)
I keep getting this error when I try to run the application. Could some one tell me what triggers this error.It was working fine and all of a sudden I started getting this error.
View Replies View RelatedHow would I go about deleting a data in a text file?

how would I use FileSystemObject to delete the 12345 line
I'm trying to write some simple code using FSO, but I can't make it work. There are a many FSO tutorials on the web, but they all start with a line similar to:
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Yet that line simply doesn't work. I've tried it on my server and on my development PC, both of which are configured as web servers running ASP. I suspect that these computers simply aren't configured to support FSO, but nowhere can I find any hint of how to do that configuration.
I've been using the FileSystemObject to try to save various html files as .htm files. I have been pulling down the code correctly (its our website, we are needing the database driven pages stored statically on cd, hence we are automising the process) I have the HTML in strings, replaced all the links I need to, and when I try to write to the file via the fs.write(HTMLCode) it doesn't work, I've tried many approaches .
View Replies View RelatedWhen dealing with the FileSystemObject component, I found that attempting to use the fso.GetFile(path) method (where fso was set using the CreateObject method, and path is set to the physical path of the file) was completely hanging IIS, that I had to restart it to get anything going. PLacing traces and breakpoints up to that point showed that this is the method causing the hand. The folder in which this file resides has only about 10 files in it.
I'm running on Windows 2000 SP4 with IIS 5.0. I also have Norton AV 2002 installed and I tried disabling it in case it is the culprit. Same result. All services that should be running appear to be in the correct (started) state. I also have Zone Alarm Pro running, but both IIS and the browser are running on the same machine, and the local host (127.0.0.1) is in the Trusted Zone.
Is there a way to use FileSystemObject to loop through a folder,and show the names of all the child folders within that folder? I havesearched on this and came up with empty pockets.
View Replies View Relatedthe CreateObject works fine. the FolderExists works fine. I tested this out by giving it a folder that does not exists too. working fine means, I get response within a moment or two. but when I use GetFolder, IE takes about 30 seconds to go half way on the
progress bar, then hangs Also, I do get notified from Norton that something is trying to do go out.
eventually I get this from IE:
The page cannot be displayed
There are too many people accessing the Web site at this time. any clues why GetFolder takes so long ? and what is going on?
Is it possible to use FileSystemObject across two servers? For example, my web application is on Web1 and my files are on Files1. Could my ASP application on Web1 use Scripting.FileSystemObject to check if FileExists() and GetFile().size ? I'm mapping the Files1 as a virtual directory on Web1 IIS.
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to move a file from one directory to another in a script. I am getting close but I am getting this error -
File Already Exists. In debugging I output the current and new folders as I am using them in the move method and they are correct. The file DOES NOT exist in the new directory but I am getting the error none the less.
here is my code Code:
mySQL = "Select `shop`,`image` from `staff` where id = " & request("emp")
set rs=cnn1.execute(mySQL)
If rs("shop") <> request("shop") Then
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

I have ASP code that runs on one XP machine, but not another. Here's the code:
Dim a, fso
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fso.OpenTextFile("c: estfile.txt", 8, True)
a.WriteLine("This is a test.")
a.Close
I get an error on the fso.OpenTextFile statement:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6)
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'OpenTextFile'
I have used this code many times before, and think there is an "environment" problem, like permissions, or missing dll or something like that.
I'm working on a simple image gallery using the FileSystemObject. This basically makes each folder in my images folder a gallery. When you view a gallery I have it show 15 images, then I want to have a "next" button at the bottom where they can view more pictures if there are more than 15 pictures.
So when it stops I have the last image that it shows placed into a querystring. How can I have the FileSystemObject start looping through the images starting with the image I have in the querystring on the next page?
