Creating Strings of ASP Code

[fpgiv]

Hi,
I'm trying to create an ASP page using VBScript that creates another ASP page when a user selects certain options. I'm reading the data into the newly created file fine, but I'm having problems sending the ASP code as strings. It flips out because of the: <%@ in the double quotes. Can anyone help please?
Thanks!

My code looks like this:
set FSO = Server.CreateObject(&quot;scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
temp=&quot;C:\temp.asp&quot;
set myFile=fso.CreateTextFile(temp, true)
myFile.Writeline(&quot;<%@ Language=VBScript %>&quot

Did you try to assign <%@Language=VBScript%> to a variable first? Then:
myFile.WriteLine myVariable
BTW...The language directive is not necessary for you asp page to work. In fact I read somewhere that it's beneficial (efficiency wise) to omit it (I can't remember why though).

efficiency on the declaratiopn of the language being vbscript I would imagine due to the default language specification for ASP being vbscript. if you then add the language directive in the page you in all are causing a action to be interpruted that does not indeed need be by the server. two events for what can be only one.

Thanks all! I took out the <%@ language specification, since it is redundant, and that solved the problem. I thought it still wouldn't compile though about the parts that were myFile.Writeline(&quot;<% Response.Write text %>&quot and it still doesn't, but I found out that if you split up the asp tags, it compiles fine. i.e. I made it so
myFile.Writeline(&quot;<% Response.Write text &quot was one line and myFile.Writeline(&quot; %>&quot was one another line. Thanks so much!

hi guys! may i chime in with the following?

myFile.Writeline(&quot;<&quot; & &quot;% Response.Write text %&quot; & &quot;>&quot

this is similar when you want to write some javascript to another page using javascript, where where you might do the following:

document.write('<scr' + 'ipt> ... </scr' + 'ipt>');
