I have a batch file that needs to execute every day and I need to run it in a silent/invisible mode. I looked up on the Internet and found this command: shell("batchfilename.bat").
Upon failure, learned that it is a Visual Basic command and not VBScript command. I wonder if anyone knows how to run a batch file using vbscript that runs in invisible mode?
Security issues, warning messages, etc., aside,
what MIME-type combination do I need for and ASP to write a BAT file to the response stream?
e.g.
Response.Clear
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.bat"
Response.Write("net send COMPUTER2 success")
Response.End()
This code does not work!
Which is surprising because in my current config, the following html works fine, and executes on the shell:
<A href="message.bat">test</A>
We're trying to write an application that will allow a user to enter an id field from an ASP intranet page and when they hit the enter button, fire off a print job. The problem is, Adobe must be open as the items being printed are PDFs.
We tried firing off a print command using MS SQL cmdShell() (not sure if that is the exact name of the command) and it works, but it never completes. The process hangs in the database because, we think, it hasn't closed Adobe, therefore never coming back to the query. We wrote the query into an ASP page.
Adobe must be open or the documents won't print properly.
Does anyone have any suggestions to how we can automate this?

Naturally, I can get the script to work from a command line but not from abrowser. The page does not throw an error but the oShell.Run. portion of the script doesn't run.

I have a batch file that takes variables from the cmd and passes them by sqlcmd to an SQL script. When I pass the variable 'MikeTestList' the script runs as expected with no problems. When I passed 'BulkTransferTest' I got an error message, 'The string or binary data will be truncated'.
Some testing has shown that I get the error when the string is anything above 12 characters. Is there a limit to the length of a string you can pass using sqlcmd from a batch file? Is there any way around it?
Also, if I have a space in the string, it only passes the string up to the space. I have tried to fill it with a '%' which then gets passed as is, so the % stays in place through out the script. Code:
I have an asp page written entirely in jscript with a vbscript used as an include file which one variable on the page must access.

I'm needing to read through a text file that will have the following format:

I want to include a file in a web page according to some details that are retrieved from a database. I have typed the following code:
<% filename = Session("LModCode") & Session("ClassID") & ".inc" %>

This doesn't work. There is nothing wrong with Session variables that I know of, both values are present when i write them to the page. Is it not possible to use vbscript within an include statement?

We have LOADS of documents scanned to PDF format, stored
in SQL tables.Allowing a client to browse our ASP driven site to select
and view individual PDFs has been no problem. ("index"
table is queried to show list of available PDFs, user

First, a little background. I'm developing an order management system for my company and I want to be able to print a batch of packing slips in one go without pulling each one up on the screen and clicking 'Print'.
How can I do this in ASP? The only way I can come up with is to loop through the records and concatenate a string with the HTML code and then send that string to the printer. But, I'm not exactly sure that's the best way or if it is even possible.
I want to basically click a button that says "Print All Packing Slips" and never see an output screen.
i have to start a batch process from a dll to transfer
files created by this dll to remote ftp server. I created
a batch file:
ftp -n -v -i -s:D:atchftpcmds.txt ftp-server
and a file containing the ftp commands:
user username password
lcd D:atchmedia
mput *.*
quit
It works pefectly when i start it from the dosbox. But
when i call it from the vb dll implemented in IIS (shell
("D:atch ransfer.bat")), it does not complete the
transfer and hangs after 400-500 (small) files.
How do I statically change my ip address to specific IP via a DOS batch file and back to DHCP via another DOS batch file?
View Replies View RelatedI have a web page that sends emails to groups of recipients. It uses CDONTS to send each email. While it works fine for sending a small amount of emails out, it chokes the page when sending to large amount of email addresses. Basically, it loops through each email address and sets the CDONTS object each time. I need to do this because each email is personalized.
Does anyone have any thoughts around how to optimize this code. Is there anyway in ASP to send the code to a background process for example?
I need to send batch html emails out from a db mailing list (anything up to 1000 in one go).I am using CDOSYS and standard ASP. My problem is that it will error if I try to do any more that 5 every 30 seconds - this is fine when I send them out myself (I have a script to do this) but now I need a program which will allow users to send out batches and I want it to appear seamless.
