Help with Include HTML file. HELP!!!

[Technos]

Hi,
I'm having problem with including HTML file. I want to include the html file which takes the location at run time.

Here is my code

Dim selectCat, myArray(count)

selectCat = Policy
myArray(count) = Policy1.htm

mylocation = "Employee\selectCat\myArray(count)"

Now I want to inclde this file as

<!-- #include file = &quot;Employee&quot; & &quot;\&quot; & selectCat & &quot;\&quot; myArray(count)-->

Employee folder is hard coded, selectCat is subfolder of Employee.

Where I'm Wrong? Please Help

Thanks.

If I remember correctly,
all include files are loaded BEFORE any asp code is evaluated, so the selectCat variable is not set...

hth,

That is correct. INCLUDE is a &quot;compile-time&quot; comnmand. An ASP can be compiled once, cached in memory and then used many times before it is &quot;kicked&quot; out by more frequently used ASP pages.

One other point worth mentioning, though I could always be wrong. You will need to escape your ASP script to write that include, ie:
Dim selectCat, myArray(count)

selectCat = Policy
myArray(count) = Policy1.htm

mylocation = &quot;Employee\selectCat\myArray(count)&quot;

Now I want to inclde this file as
%>
<!-- #include file = &quot;Employee&quot; & &quot;\&quot; & selectCat & &quot;\&quot; myArray(count)-->
<%

And for the record, i have had no problem dynamically generating paths to include files, I cheat like that quite often.

If you are using ASP 3.0, then you may want to use the Server.Execute command rather than the old <!-- include... --> preprocessor directive.
