command line parameters

[navarchy]

In Visual Basic you can use command line parameters with your programs, can you do that with asp? Like if you went to commandline.asp hello.txt the asp would be able to get hello.txt and do something with it(in my case open it and put its contents on a certain part of the webpage)? Any help is appreciated.

they are called querystrings

http://www.whatever.com/mypage.asp?id=1&name=Chris

Now in asp you can access those by using

request.querystring("id")
request.querystring("name")
the ? mark is used before the first one and all other querystrings after that are seprated by a &
