Hello! I would really appreciate it if anyone could post a code for editing files using FileSystemObject... I have a kind of a configuration file that contains all kinds of important variables (it works like WWG's common.asp), and I want to be able to edit it online to change those variables. Thanks in advance! ------------- Visit my site: http://darkgreen.service-club.net - DarkGreen HQ

FSO Code Examples: http://www.aspfaqs.com/aspfaqs/ShowCategory.asp?CatID=4 - and for what you propose, FSO is totally not the correct way to go.... as its a major pain to do anything in the middle of the file...... maybe use an XML doc to hold the values you need to hold (or better yet a database) ------------- Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet |

What do you mean by XML? I'm not very experienced with that type of documents (I know only the basics of it). P.S. ------------- Visit my site: http://darkgreen.service-club.net - DarkGreen HQ

You can use the text stream object to read the file and show it in a normal textarea box and re-update it. Is should be simple. |
