how could we put a txt file content into html page ??

**Memnoch1207** · Sep 17th, 2003, 10:28 AM

use the FileSystemObject in ASP...something like this

VB Code:

'index.asp
 
<html>
<body>
<%
Set fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 
Set fileName = Server.MapPath("myFile.txt")
 
If(fs.FileExists(filePath) then
   Set getInfo = fs.OpenTextFile(fileName, 1, False)
   If Not getInfo.AtEndOfStream then
      Do while Not getInfo.AtEndOfStream
         strLine = getInfo.ReadLine
         Response.write(strLine)
         Response.write("<br>")
      Loop
   End If
Else
   Response.Write("File Does Not Exist")
End If
%>

there are different ways to do this...this is just one example.

or in PHP:

Code:

<?php
    $file = 'file/name.ext';
    if (file_exists($file)) {
        echo implode('', file($file));
    }
?>

?
this outputs the included page as html page.
the inclusion is done by asp or php ... that's all

if you don't have php or asp you have to use shtml
or maby javascript

HTML is a markup language. You would have to use a scripting language or server-side includes (SSI through a .shtml file).

hi every body

thank's for replayes

but the answer is

**morrowasted** · Sep 18th, 2003, 06:14 PM

^^^^ only works with frontpage bot things, i think only shows up in IE

**The Hobo** · Sep 18th, 2003, 06:35 PM

Actually, I think it just needs the server to have Frontpage extenstions installed, or something.

It's not THE answer, it's AN answer. And we gave you others that were just as viable and also depended on something being installed on the server.

go with the PHP.

its easy to use, small, and its easy to write correlative scripts for it (to edit the text file from user input, etc).

and see how much code it took in ASP? psh....

PHP is easy to install on an Apache server, and free, so id go with that.
