I've never really touched asp before never really needed it, but I've just a couple of questions about it.
first how can you open a text file for append in asp and add a line to it? and if the file does not exist it will be created?
second how do you open a text in asp for just output and write a line to it? and again if the file does not exist will it be created?.
thanx for any help.
Hi Crypt
you need to use the scripting object to do what you need.
first create your file system object by using
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Then set up your file object by using this
Set readfile=fs.OpenTextFile(filename,1,False)
The last paramater is used for if you want a file created if it can't find one in the specified filename.
then finally, use either readfile.readline to get a line of information or readfile.writeline to write a line. there is also other ones as well se here for more information

Hope this helps

thanx for the info, but one question about pws if someone can answer, I have it on my win98 cd but haven't installed it yet, but I heard you could test out asp with it so I think I will, but how do you test asp with it? just have it running and then open a webpage? or do you have to run the webpage from a certain path? or do you have to open it up in personal webserver or something?
thanx again.
You have to put the ASP page in a directory that allows scripts to run.
Then in your webbrowser you would type something like:
http://localhost/mydir/myfile.asp
or
http://127.0.0.1/mydir/myfile.asp
or
http://myip/mydir/myfile.asp
