asp (visual basic script) write into a file

asp (visual basic script)
1. how to write information into a file
2. how to rewrite a file (remove contents of a file and write information into a file)?

 

you have to make sure that "IUSR_your machine" (your machine = name of your server) has change access to the file & directory, and you'd want to call the file system object.


for example


set FSO = server.createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set filewriter = FSO.createtextfile("d:/yourdirectory/yourfile.html")
filewriter.writeline "hello world"

you can perform all sorts of file operations using the FSO, google filesystemobject for details, but that's the general idea of how its done in asp.

If you intend to run a process in the backend and not as an ASP page then replace Server.CreateObject with WScript.CreateObject and save as a .vbs file instead of .asp You can then run a scheduled job.

 

nice trick edr - i've actually got a backend job that i've been meaning to try to run as a sched. task - i'll give that a whirl
