Ok. I am using asp classic because it works in iis without installing anything extra. but the scripting language is not important. If js has a solution that would be fine. Php or perl is not an option. I have these folders Fighter Warrior Berserker Paladin Hunter Archer Acolyte Priest Cleric Sage Spellcaster Mage Wizard Necromancer I can build a form with check boxes and even write a asp script that will write it to log file but what I need it to do is write it to the folder selected in the text box and use the name used in the name box as a filename. This is for a guild in grand fantasia and I need a list of guild members their class and their lvl for forming parties. Does anyone know the best way to do this?
Should be no problem to get ASP to list the directories that exist in the file system however the moment you add images etc at the same level you will start to have problems. Most people would use a database to get the list of categories and then save the relevant files into the folders (and check they exist). Databases make things much easier. What info are you saving?
A text list of names. nobody will veiw it but me. They will come in put there charector name and check a class and add their lvl. I need it saved in the folder they check in the checkbox. Later I will use the names to build teams. Then the teams will be trained to fight as a unit. But the list, should not be veiwed onlline at all. Or there should not be anything but name,class,level. It will be proccessed offline. but you are right a access db would be better but I do not have the tools o build a db, and really since it is only three things a text file should do.
I'm astounded your hosting doesn't come with a database. Securing those text files will take extra work. I've moved your thread to the ASP section so hopefully someone will be able to help you on the text file manipulation etc.
It is on my home comp. This is a private system. It will never be listed by search engines. maybe 100 members top. Back before asp.net hotscripts alone had about ten scripts built for this. I never thought I would have this problem and in fact this exact script does exist for wow guilds but in php. I do not believe securing them will be a problem. I will use a redirect script in the folders and remove read permission on the text files. Thanks.
