Anyone able to tell me if there's an alternative to the Format function that
VB has? (it appears ASP doesn't support it)
I'm basically (and believe me, I know how stupid this is going to sound)
trying to find a way of getting a file/folder's size to show in something
other than bytes (i.e. KB or MB, depending on what size it is).
I've tried modifying some of my VB functions to ASP compatable, but it
doesn't seem to like them.
E.G. in VB, I use;
something = Format((Fldr.Size / 1024), "#0.00") & " KB"
or
Format((Fldr.Size / 1024) / 1024, "##0.00") & " MB"
Neither of the above seem to work as below;
Response.Write Format((Fldr.Size / 1024) / 1024, "##0.00") & " MB"

Why not simply perform the math operation (without the Format command) on a
variable, and then Response.Write it with "KB" appended as a string?

It's vbscript that doesn't support it (ASP is not a language).

Please reply to the newsgroup. The email account listed in my From
header is my spam trap, so I don't check it very often. You will get a
quicker response by posting to the newsgroup.
See the FormatNumber function.
You will still have to perform the division but FormatNumber can control the
number of places after the decimal point.

Haven't tried it yet, but if I'm correct, then the below should work???
Response.Write fldr.Size /1024 & " KB"
