Greetings,
I'm experimenting with an ASP page that reads data from a file name
that is passed to it as a parameter, as in this page, which works,
because the "good" file exists.
http://mazes.com/asp-maze/customized...&firstname=jwk
(make "your name is an amazing asp.general programmer" mazes.
But when I try this page, with the "bad" file which does not exist, I'm
not succeeding:
http://mazes.com/asp-maze/customized...&firstname=jwk
I've tried several solutions that I found by googling.
When I tried:
If (ns.FileExists(zfil)<>true) then ...
but even when I give it a valid name, it returns "False"
I've tried using
On Error Resume Next
set nq=ns.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(zfil),1,true)
if Err.Number <> 0 Then ...
On Error Goto 0
I have found a workaround. Here is what finally worked:
On Error Resume Next
set nq=ns.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(zfil),1,true)
if nq.AtEndOfStream=True Then
zfil=custompath&"customdatadefault.asp"
set nq=ns.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(zfil),1,true)
end if
But meanwhile, I'd love to hear how to check for the existence of a
file.
