Hi,
I'm trying to use MapPath on a folder named with a comma in it:
xmldoc.load Server.MapPath( Request.QuerySt ring("fname"))
where the querysting is something like "fname=this , that/this, that.xml".
I'm sure it's the comma, because if I remove it and rename the file
and folder, everything works.
I believe that a comma is a valid character in a folder or filename,
so why does MapPath barf on it?
Is there any way around this still using MapPath?
Can someone point me to a source with a list of the valid characters
the MapPath accepts?
Thanks,
Supertzar

Hi Supertzar,
From my research it looks like this is a known issue, Microsoft has
known for years, but no fix is available.
What you'll have to do is break the path down in code and only do
Server.MapPath on the portion you know is safe.
What I had was a file name for which I needed to know the absolute
path on my disk, so I did this:
strFullPath = Server.MapPath( ".") & "\" & strMyFileNameWi thCommas
Hope this helps.

I'm having the same issue. My filename contains a
comma. Have you found a workaround using server.mappath?

Hello guys,
I get the "an invalid XML character" error when using xerces to parse

Hi all,
I am confused the mappath does not support virtual directories any more? I
realize that the ".." for the virtual directory to go to a higher level root
is not supported in .NET any longer ... but I can't get the mappath to work
with the backslash/forwardslash/ and no-slash to work either ... I have
tried pretty much every combination ... any ideas as what I am doing wrong
is appreciated ... Here is what I am trying to achieve ......

When I use server.mappath("a,b") IIS returns the following message:
'Error Type:
Server.MapPath(), ASP 0173 (0x80004005)
An invalid character was specified in the Path parameter for the MapPath
method.'
Is there a workaround to enable use of mappath for a folder with a comma in
its name?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
