serverVariables -- Script_name

[qsac]

anyone have any idea why

request.servervariables("Script_name")

is returning path and script

ex file test.asp is in c:\test

if I do

dim scriptName
scriptName=request.servervariables("Script_name")
response.write scriptName

It returns /test/test.asp where i am just looking for test.asp.

Any Clues? I can write code to manipulate the variable to return the result i want, but i just want to see if there is a way to just get the script name, in this case it would be test.asp

thanks in advance

for what you're looking for i'd use a combination of instr and request.servervariables("url")

dim ScriptArray
ScriptArray = Split(request.servervariables("Script_name"),"/")
response.write ScriptArray(ubound(ScriptArray))

If you use instrRev(request.servervariables("url", "/") you can get the position of the last / and do a right() on the url to get the file name.

SCRIPT_NAME always returns the virtual path for thecurrent script, basically everything to the right of the

http://www.domainName.com/

minus any querystring variables.
As mbiro pointed out, an InStrRev will solve thisif you only want the actual filename (or the Split from Chris) instead of the virtual path.

And just to be redundant, as far as the server is concerned, the name of your script is "/test/test.asp". As far as it's concerned there might well be another script called "test.asp" in the web root, so it has to differentiate.

Right(string, Len(string) - InStrRev(string, "/"))

should do the trick, even if there's no "/" in the string (though someone correct me if necessary, I just woke up).

No, I think it would work. InStrRev would return 0, so it would do a Right on the full length...er, I think...ok, someone paste that thing into a sample asp file and give us an answer, I'm going to play a game
