FileSystemObject on Windows 2K

[ChrisQuick]

I have the following code for reading a textfile line by line and replacing each double quote with two, and then writing the new line to a new file.

<%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Expires = 0
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
Response.CacheControl = &quot;no-cache&quot;

Dim objFSO
Dim ObjTextFileToRead
Dim ObjTextFileToWrite
Dim strFilename
Dim strTextLine
Const fsoForReading = 1

strFilename = &quot;C:\Trash_Me\testin.txt&quot;
'Create an instance of the FileSystemObject object
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
If objFSO.FileExists(strFilename) Then
On Error Resume Next
Set ObjTextFileToRead = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFilename, fsoForReading)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set ObjTextFileToRead = Nothing
Response.Write &quot;Error Reading File&quot;
Response.Write Err.Description
End If

Set ObjTextFileToWrite = objFSO.CreateTextFile(&quot;C:\Trash_Me\testout.txt&quot

While not ObjTextFileToRead.AtEndOfStream
strTextLine = ObjTextFileToRead.ReadLine
trTextLine = Replace(strTextLine, &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot
ObjTextFileToWrite.WriteLine(&quot;WritePretty &quot;&quot; &quot; & strTextLine & &quot; &quot;&quot;&quot

WEnd

' Clean Up
ObjTextFileToRead.Close
Set ObjTextFileToRead = Nothing
ObjTextFileToWrite.Close
Set ObjTextFileToWrite = Nothing
Else
Response.Write &quot;File not found&quot;
End If
Set objFSO = Nothing
Response.Write &quot;Finished&quot;
%>


When I run the code, it just seems to hang and do absolutely nothing!!! No errors, no script timeouts, nothing.

I recently installed the latest patches for windows 2000, I am now wondering if that is to blame.

Any thoughts or suggestions? cquick@callingpost.com

You need to find the exact line that's causing the problem.
Insert lots of Response.Write statements so you can follow it's execution.

My guess is, though, the IUSR_xxxx account doesn't have write permissions to the directory.
