Catters/string concatenation 1

[joeisbatman]

Hi, theres this .dll file that someone created for vbscript called CATTERS. Its all over the web, do a search in google to find it- Apparently it speeds up string operations a TON which I need desperately. My problem is theres NO INSTRUCTIONS. Does anyone know how to use a dll file? I went into IIS and added it to the application configuration setup thing in IIS.

I get an error on this line:
Set strcat = Server.CreateObject("StrCat.Catter&quot

I know nothing about how to include this .dll or maybe even all the other junk it came with (source files etc). Any ideas?!??!

I am using winnt and downloaded the dll from:

http://www.sql-server-performance.com/Other/strcat.zip

Copied your server.createobject line and got no error.
You should put the dll in the system32 folder and check
with regedit if you can find StrCat.Catter
If you cannot find it the dll might not be registered on your cumputer (I added the dll to a visual basic project so this might have registered the dll for me).

If you need help on how to use it you can check this url

http://www.sql-server-performance.com/string_concat_article.asp

But it is verry simple, it basiccally workes like this:
strcat &quot;hallo<br>&quot;
strcat &quot;line 2 <br>&quot;
strcat &quot;last line&quot;
Response.Write strcat.Dump ()

Put the .dll in the aforementioned folder (although it doesn't HAVE to go there, that's the convention), open up the command prompt, and:

REGISTER A .DLL ON YOUR SERVER:
regsrv32 c:\path\name_of_dll.dll

UNREGISTER:
regsvr32 /u xxxx
