ASP :: If...Then When Writing To A Text File?

Writing Text File
I have an application which was successfully writing data from submitted
forms to a text file in a directory - in this case:

/data/findata.txt

This was fine because the forms lived at the root level with this directory.

Since then I have added enabled the forms to be used on subdirectories :

/subdirectory/myform.asp

I've used the same code for server.mapparth("data") etc - but instead of
locating the directory at the root of the server called "data" it looks to
the current directory- doesn't find it and creates another! eek!

What I need is a way to say "right, it doesnt matter what level you are at
at the moment, always look at the root level /data directory"...

This has to be fairly dynamic - on the development server here its got a
different file structure than on the live server (ie, it lives another level
down again on the physical drive)...

Anyone got a good idea on how to look back up?

I do have one way to test which level they are at - but I feel that its a
bit 'weak' - I have an ID that tells me if they are working on the upper or
lower levels (ie, anything other than 1 is a lower level) - whilst I realise
I could use this in the test I'm not sure if its going to be 100% fool proof
to base this criteria on this ID.

Therefore I was hoping for a better way using the server.mappath etc...

Writing A Text File(OpenTextFile)
I'm having a hard time to open/write to a txt file from a .asp, the code is right, but, looks that the iis 5.0 is messing with the file system.

once the execution gets to the point of :
Set filetxt = filesys.OpenTextFile(sFilePathAndName, ForReading, False)

the browser just hangs forever, If I do the request to the same .asp several times then the IIS hangs, and can not even stop the service(a bug in IIS). Code:

Writing/retrieving Variables From A Text File?
Does anyone know if it's possible to write and retrieve variables from a text file??

I know how to use the FSO to create text files and write data to them etc. I just don't know how to write a variable to a text file, and retrieve it at a later date??

I would like similar functionality to a cookie. The reason I can't just use a normal cookie is because the data needs to be permanent and I can't risk the cookies being removed off a users machine.

Problem With Writing/reading Text File
Here is what I have setup:

- a form that updates a text file.
- for example, in the form I have two fields, title and story. then, this write to a textfile (i.e. theinfo.asp). the update.asp file looks like this:

TSO.write "<%" & vbCrLf
TSO.write "title = """
TSO.write Request.Form("title")
TSO.write """" & vbCrLf
TSO.write "story = """
TSO.write Request.Form("story")
TSO.write """" & vbCrLf

- so, essentially it is creating an asp file with two variables.
- this works fine, it updates the file and i can call these variables in other pages. however, when i call these variables into a form : old versions of the variables populate the form: Code:

Writing A Text On An Image With ASP ?
I would like to dynamically add a text as a watermark on images.

I managed to do that with aspsmartimage but as the watermark is added
when the image is sent to the browser, it takes too much ressources on
the server, due to a big number of images to diplay simultaneously.

Is there a way or an other component to do that more efficiently. I
can't add the watermark when uploading the file because it has to be
written when the image is displayed.

Writing To A Log File Using ASP On IIS
We have an existing ASP app that is doing a very simple form submission to an Access db. So it opens a connection does a write and closes the connection.

The problem is that every other form submission is failing because of an "Unspecified Error" - according to our IIS web server log.

I have 2 things I'd like help with.

1) Writing to a log file:
I'd like to write to a log file (either the web servers or a different one) from the server side code within the ASP app. So, once the code opens the DB connect I would like to know it was a success. Once it writes, I want to see the string its trying to put in, etc...

How would I do this in our ASP/IIS environment?

2) Catch errors:

If I'm opening a db connection to this access db, how can I be sure the connection is a success? does a value get returned that would indicate success/failure? if so how do I capture it?
I'm speaking of some type of try-catch system.

is there another approach I should be taking to debug this problem?

Writing The File On The Client Side
I have developed a windows 2000 based web-based

application which uses only HTML and JavaScript code for the

client side and C++ on server side .

Now i need to implement a feature to implement "writing the

JavaScript doesn't support client side file writing i think i need

to use ASP or similar language.

1. Is it possible to write on client machine using ASP??

this.

Writing In File Add Extra Line
I am writing one line and for a reason I ignore it adds a line which is screwing up a few things.

<%
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
dim sLine sArchivo="switch.txt"
path = Server.MapPath("../Flash")
sFile = path & "" & sArchivo

if fso.FileExists(sFile) then
fso.DeleteFile(sFile)
end if
Set a = fso.CreateTextFile(sFile, True)
if request("radiobutton") = 1 then
sLine = "&ver=si"
else
sLine = "&ver=no"
end if

a.WriteLine (sLine)
a.Close

sRedirect="admin_NoticiasListado.asp?sRadio=" & request("radiobutton")
Response.Redirect(sRedirect)
%>

How come does the extra line come ? I seems I have done already a fews times and it never ocurred before.

Multiple People Writing To XML File At The Same Time
I have a standard ASP page that appends to an xml page.

Currently if there is more than one person attempting to append to the same XML file at a time. One user will have the ability to append, and the other user will append nothing.

Is there a way to avoid this from happening? For example. Lets say the user opens up a cached version of the page then append to the actual file. For some reason I remember reading about something like that, but just can't recall.
