the code to create a textfile on the serer and then write
something in it using ASP.
I'm writing data from an access db to a text file then emailing the text file. Everything works fine but it needs to tab deliminated. Can some one post the code for a "tab"?

View Replies View RelatedCan this be done? For example, in the line below. There may not always be a & objRS("ShippingAddress2") and I'm wondering if there is a way to use an if/then in there some how. If there is no data in that field then I need to pass over this part completely & objRS("ShippingAddress2") & "|"

once the execution gets to the point of :

I 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.
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:

how to write a text file to a mapped drive or network drive. In my script, I’m currently writing the text file to a local folder on the server temporarily until I can figure this out.
So far I have tried to use the mapped drive letter, network path, etc. to get this working. I believe all the permissions are in order (I hope) as well. No matter what I have tried, I just get a Path Not Found script error. I know this has to be possible, just I’m missing something … probably something right under my nose but I just can’t figure it out.

I would like to dynamically add a text as a watermark on images.
I managed to do that with aspsmartimage but as the watermark is added
when the image is sent to the browser, it takes too much ressources on
the server, due to a big number of images to diplay simultaneously.
Is there a way or an other component to do that more efficiently. I
can't add the watermark when uploading the file because it has to be
written when the image is displayed.

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?
