Read a directory and next making an action.

McGrull

Sorry for my question, but I'm really a newbie on ASP.

I need to make a simple page (for IIS 5.0 and up, but even for 2000
Professional IIS) that read and display the files contained in a
specified directory and next, clicking on one of them, calling and
making an action with an another ASP page. For example:

http://server/list.asp

Listing Y:\REPOSITORY

ONE.TXT
TWO.TXT
If I clic on ONE.TXT I need to call

http://server/action.asp?go=Y:\REPOSITORY\ONE.TXT

Thank you in advance, and sorry for the dumb question.

It's not a dumb question but why would you want to pass the physical path to
the file?

Here is a way to do it without passing the file path/name on the URL.

There's a link on the page to view the source.

Thanks for your reply.

The application, that is third part, need the real path of the file
with the file for call argument . I try to call only the file, but
doesn't do the correct stuff.

you already know your virtual path so...

dim virPath, strPath
virPath = "/myfiles"
strPath = Server.MapPath("/myfiles")
Just prepend it: strPath & "/" & filename.ext

My app is distinctly different as my URL never changes and nobody can use
the URL to pass a filename.
Glad you found something you can use.

If you're wanting to use the array on multiple pages then you could put your
array in a session variable but copy it to a local variable when you use it.

' get files, put into array
session("arrFiles") = arrFiles

' grab array from session when you want to use it.
dim arrFiles
arrFiles = session("arrFiles")

If you had your files in an array and you had 30 and wanted 10 on each page,
this is one way:

pages: list1, list2, list3

dim i, j, arrList1(), arrList2(), arrList3()
redim arrList1(9) : redim arrList2(9) : redim arrList3(9)
j = 0
for i = 0 to ubound(arrFiles) step 3
arrList1(j) = arrFiles(i)
arrList2(j) = arrFiles(i + 1)
arrList3(j) = arrFiles(i + 2)
j = j + 1
next
erase arrList
if session("assList1") <> "" then
session("arrList1") = arrList1
end if
session("arrList2") = arrList2
session("arrList3") = arrList3

....then on each page:

list1.asp
dim arrList, i
arrList = session("arrList1")
for i = 0 to ubound(arrList)
Response.Write "<a href=""" & arrList & """>" & arrList & "</a><br />"
next

list2.asp
....
list3.asp
....
