reading from file on server

[lleemon]

I am wondering if the following can happen:

If I have a upload utility to put a .txt file onto my server, can I upload a .txt file to a certain location. When this is done I want to open a .asp page that when I hit a button reads the .txt file values and populates a page, db, etc... My main question is if a asp can read in a .txt file like vb can?

Thanks in advance.

Sure can. You might want to use something like this:

==========================================================

Function ReadEntireFile(filespec)
Const ForReading = 1
Dim fso, theFile, retstring
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set theFile = fspenTextFile(filespec, ForReading)

Do While theFile.AtEndOfStream <> True
retstring = retstring + theFile.ReadLine
Loop

theFile.Close
ReadEntireFile = retstring
End Function
==========================================================
