I am trying to save a large text file (15kb) using the filesystemobject but when I try to save the file, I get nothing - seems to be a buffer problem. Works fine with smaller files.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Nathan

Basicaly we are trying to make Html versions of all the posts in our forum.

Hence the code:

<%
dim fs,fname
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

for i = 1000 to 1301
xmlhttp.open "GET", " http://www.corfu-travel-guide.info/message_boards/display_topic_threads.asp?print_page=1&TopicID - http://www.corfu-travel-guide.info/message_boards/display_to pic_threads.asp?print_page=1&TopicID =" & i ,false
xmlhttp.send

'write to a file
set fname=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("./corfu_posts/topic_" & i & ".html") ,2,true)
fname.Write(xmlhttp.ResponseText)
fname.Close

set xmlhttp = nothing
set fname=nothing
set fs=nothing

try putting

Response.Buffer = FALSE

at the top and see if that helps

Thanks Paul. We tried that, but it is the same.

Incidentally, if we first 'GET' the page, and then writeout to the screen, it is fine. But, when we save the object as an html file, we only get about half of the htlm saved. That's why we think it may be a buffer problem. I am getting no crash or error code with the script.

Incidentally, the reason for trying to export all of my treads to HTML pages, is so that when my site visitors use my 'Site Search' (WWG one) they will be able to search all of my site and the forum posts.

Am I going about this in the correct way?

Thanks

Nathan
