Opening a text file (VBscript)

[rino_2]

Hi,

Is it possible to open up a text file and then have it displayed in a HTML <TEXTAREA>? If so how? Also, if that is possible, how would I save it after changes have taken place? Thanks

here ya go, read a text file into a textarea:

<TEXTAREA>
<%
	
	dim fso
	dim objTxtStream
	dim strText
	
	set fso = server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	
	set objTxtStream = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myfile.txt", 1)
	strText = objtxtstream.ReadAll
	Response.Write strtext
	
	set fso = nothing
	set objTxtStream = nothing
	
	
%>
</TEXTAREA>

after you submit the form, get the value, and use objTxtStream.Write method to rewrite the file
