View RepliesI have made a asp page that will read a db table and select certain fields concerning the current day's activities to be written to a text file. After the information about the current day's activities has been compiled, it is stored in a variable and written to a text file.
What I would like to do is create a text file for each day instead of over-writing the same one. Is there another Server.CreateObject method that will allow the 'creation' of a text file rather than just over-writing a text file that already exists? I would use "month(date)", "day(date)","year(date)" to append to a text file name to keep it unique.
Below is what I currently use to create a text file. But any new information will only overwrite what is already contained in the text file. Code:
I have a memo field in my recordset that will have varying amounts of text inserted into it from an online form. This is then uploaded to a table cell. At the minute it is just going in one long line across the table. How can I get this text to wrap or line break at a table width of say 500px. Is this an html or asp solution?

When using ASP's FileSystemObject to create text files, I am unable to get user submitted text (in Hebrew) to save as anything other than "?????". The text file is being saved in Unicode and setting the CodePage in ASP proved unsuccessful. Strangely, hard coded Hebrew text in an ASP variable does add to the text file correctly.
Any ideas of why this happens and how to get it to work correctly?

I needed help in developing a log that stores the information in a *.txt file. One of the issues that I'm concerned with is appending new files once this file is at capacity (EOF). I know a simple IF statement can do the trick, but on an admin page that I have setup how can I search for those text files and have links for downloads. I guess what I'm trying to say is how can I make the system know that there are multiple text files the admin can download.

I have developed a search engine to search through an Access database.It uses three fields to say if the number of people is less than 300 then display these fields.
I have searched for an engine to do the same thing using a text file as oppossed to Access.I have only found examples saying you can search through text files to find character similar to the search term.Does anyone know if it is possible to pull a character form a text file and use ASP to say if its less or more than.

line2 = Line 2 of the text file
line3 = Line 3 of the text file
line4 = Line 4 of the text file

View Replies View RelatedI was under the impression if I had a page with several database queries to 3 different databases, it would be faster if I just had the queries cached to text files since the query result won't change that often and I build the cache manually when needed.
So my question is would it be faster to just include text files instead of doing multiple Access and SQL queries on a web page?

View Replies View RelatedI am a C#-Coder and now I have the duty to rewrite a ASP-Website and add some functionality. The problem is that I have never seen ASP before and I don't have the time to learn everything necessary to complete my work.

I have an ASP-Website with a very long list (out of a SQL-Query). If I scroll down the page I can't see the list-header any more <- THATs my problem. What I need is an ASP-Website with a fixed section that can't be moved and below a common, scrollable website.
The header of my SQL-Query should be in this fixed section and the datasets should be in the scrollable section.

I posted a similar problem a while ago but never found a solution. I am passing an integer value (called NoElements)from a html form (which gets created using javascript) to an asp page. The value of NoElements is used to create an asp array of that size. At first I was confronted with the following error:
Expected integer constant
I then was advised to initialise the array (to say 100) and then do a ReDim Preserve. I now get this error message:
This array is fixed or temporarily locked? What should (or at least I thought) be a simple porcedure is making my life a nightmare.
