regular expressions find / replace 1

[marc7]

i am creating a web page that takes a registration code, checks a text file to make sure the code exists and then allows the user to enter the site. my problem is that i would like to then erase the code from the text file. what is the best way to do this with asp? do i have to, after checking for the match, read the file to a stream, delete the code and then overwrite the existing file? any tips would be appreciated.

that majorly depends on the format of your file, but certainly what you described is one way to accomplish your goal.

thanks i am working on this and getting the following error

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0414'

Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub

/scripts/pcheck.asp, line 43

objRegExpr3.Replace(s1, password)

here is the matching part of the code. password is the access code variable and i created a string s1 that is the list of all the passwords. i want to search s1 for the password and delete it...

Dim fso3, ts3, s1
Set fso3 = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set ts3 = fso3.OpenTextFile("E:\InetPub\scripts\password_pairs2.txt", 8)
Dim objRegExpr3
Set objRegExpr3 = New regexp
objRegExpr3.Pattern = password
objRegExpr3.Global = True
s1 = strg
objRegExpr3.Replace(s1, password)
ts3.WriteLine s1
ts3.close

you have to set the replace to a variable
as
strg = objRegExpr3.Replace(s1, password)
or something to that effect.

otherwise it reads as a sub or function call _________________________________________________________
