cannot open an existing file

[jw424]

Hi,

I have an asp page which needs to open an existing file for reading. But I always get an error saying the file does not exist.

Here's my code:

<%
dim oFS
set oFS = Server.CreateObject (&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
dim text
set text = oFS.OpenTextFile (&quot;Config/test.txt&quot
%>

Config and the asp page reside in the same directory.

Any suggestions???

thanks

You need to pass the absolute path to .OpenTextFile...

Server.MapPath will map out the absolute path to any file that you specify, provided it's in your

http://wwwroot

somewhere.

this will work for you...
<%
dim oFS, map
map = Server.MapPath(&quot;Config/test.txt&quot 'assuming Config is at

http://wwwroot

set oFS = Server.CreateObject (&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
dim text
set text = oFS.OpenTextFile (map)

response.write map 'just so you see what it gives you...
%>
