Hiya fellas.
I've encountered a problem and I hope one of you can help me.
I have this simple form that checks if a specific folder exists on a specific drive.

How can I make what's typed in my search box display on my script.asp


My user, would type:d:\data\files and search

MY FORM

<form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;script.asp&quot;>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;> </p>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;> <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;search&quot; size=&quot;25&quot;> </p>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;>  <input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Search it !&quot; name=&quot;B1&quot;>  
<input type=&quot;reset&quot; value=&quot;Reset&quot; name=&quot;B2&quot;></p>
</form>


MY SCRIPT PAGE

<%
Set fs=Server.CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
If fs.FolderExists(&quot;d:\data\files&quot = true Then
Response.Write(&quot;Folder d:\data\files exists.&quot
Else
Response.Write(&quot;Folder d:\data\files does not exist.&quot
End If
set fs=nothing

JrClown,

I don't do VB so maybe someone can verify my code.


<%
'get the users input
sSearch = Request(&quot;search&quot
Set fs=Server.CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
If fs.FolderExists(sSearch) = true Then
Response.Write(&quot;Folder &quot; & sSearch & &quot; exists.&quot
Else
Response.Write(&quot;Folder &quot; & sSearch & &quot; does not exist.&quot
End If
set fs=nothing
%>

Hope this helps

You may need to cstr the Request.
From experience, if you don't put a verified string into the .FileExists, it'll shoot out an error. I wouldn't be surprised if it did the same for .FolderExists.

Ex:
sSearch = cstr(Request(&quot;search&quot)

Better to be safe than sorry
