append to text file- server side

[ChuckG]

Hi, I've done quite a bit with ASP, but never really have messed with Javascript.

I have an existing site that's using Server Side Java Script, I need to get one of the pages to write a line to a text file on the server when run.

Basicly what I'm doing is, when someone logs on via the website, I want to append a line to a text file that says

"<user> logged on via web"

That's it. (would be nice if the file doesn't exisit, that it auto-creates it).

Any suggestions on where to start?

Thanks
ChuckG

Try faq216-5305 as a starting point... the FSO should be available server-side as well, although you might need slightly different syntax to instantiate it.

I use Javascript/JScript with ASP, have a function that handles that:

var read=1, write=2, append=8, ascii=-2;
var filesys=Server.CreateObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');

function appendfile(onestring, filename)
{
var txtfile=filesys.OpenTextFile(filename, append, ascii);
txtfile.WriteLine(onestring);
txtfile.Close();
}
