Pass Parameters to <!-- #Include File="file.asp" -->

[vunet.us]

What is the workaround of passign a parameter to any included asp
file:

<!-- #Include File="file.asp" -->

This obviously does not work:

<!-- #Include File="file.asp? id=123" -->

Thank you

Not at all. I am saying there is almost never a benefit to including the
same file twice in the same script. To extend my example to your original
one, instead of this...

dim id : id=123
<!-- #Include File="file.asp" -->
id=321
<!-- #Include File="file.asp" -->

....use this:

<!-- #Include File="file.asp" --(with Sub defined)
DoStuff 123
DoStuff 321

what is "inefficien t" about my method above? i understand that
may not be the best way, but i want to know how it make things
worse.

The parser will fetch a copy of the included file for each #include
statement and splice it into the script before parsing a sigle line of
VBScript. Your approach could add a tremendous amount of redundancy.

As for your concerns about the length of code, my suggestion actually
shortens it.
