How to use Textstream object?

[therick]

I need to pass a string from an asp form to a variable and write it to a new file. I cannot get intellisense to pull up the .write method. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong here as I know this is easy and have done in VB hundred times. Also, how do I add a wildcard/unique identifier w/ date and time to file name? Thanks,

Dim oFSO, oTS
Dim strXML


'Establish Connection & RecordSet objects
Set oFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
'set oTS = server.CreateObject("Scripting.Textstream&quot


strXML = Request.Form("Post_Accept&quot

'set oTS = oFSO.CreateTextFile
set oTS = oFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\lanlordreports\trojan_sweep_" &date &".xml&quot
ots.write strXML

the fso object is a little different in VBScript than in VB.
for example, you don't get access to .write, instead it's .writeline, and you cannot explicitly create a textstream object.

you were close...
set oTS = oFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\lanlordreports\trojan_sweep_" & date() &".xml&quot

the date function in VBScript needs a set of brackets after it for some unknown reason.
