ASP read/write file is not working

meph92 · Jun 4, 2002

I am trying to get asp to read or write to a file.
All I am getting from IE is the flag/globe in the top right corner moving. Both on the server and workstation pc`s
And then iis has to be restarted.
All of the other asp projects I have done work fine.(

I have used code from

http://www.w3schools.com

and

http://www.asp101.com

and

http://www.4guysfromrolla.com

<html>
<body>
<p>This is the text in the text file:</p>
<%
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot

Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("testread.txt&quot

, 1)
Response.Write(f.ReadAll)
f.Close

Set f=Nothing
Set fs=Nothing
%>
</body>
</html>

All of which cause the problem as described.

I am using WindowsXP Pro. With read and write set
Help!

meph92,

Your code I think works fine. I tested it on my system and it would not write the text to the screen when I tried using adovbs.inc as the file to open and read.

When I used another plain text file, it worked fine. You may want to check the contents of your input file and make sure it doesn't contain any ASP or HTML code in it.

Do you have permission on the directory where the text file is to read and write?
