Ok, did some seriously ugly meddling with javascript so that my user
can do a level of formatting which gets shunted into a hidden input
field as raw HTML code. That code is then passed back and written
directly to a file. This works..almost.
Problems:
70% of the time, when I click the "Create" asp:button object to
activate the script, the result is an HTML file which displays
" " in place of every " " and """ in place of every
dash character. Looking at the file in notepad does not show these
mystery characters, and if I save, even without doing any editing, it
fixes the file. Obviously, the " " shows up as " " on the
screen, since the is interpreted by the browser.
20% of the time, doing the exact same thing, only the dashes are
replaced.
10% of the time, it works perfectly, still doing the exact same thing.
I bypassed the javascript and just put the raw text of what the HTML
output should be, in a textarea. Same result, so I know it's not the
javascript.
textPassed = Request.Form("t extpass")
textPassed = "<html><bod y>" & textPassed & "</body></html>"
Try
'write to file
Dim path = "c:\custom\ " & fileName
If File.Exists(pat h) Then
File.Delete(pat h)
End If
Dim fs As IO.TextWriter = File.CreateText (path)
fs.Write(textPa ssed)
fs.Close()
' Open the stream and read it back.
Dim sr As StreamReader = File.OpenText(p ath)
Do While sr.Peek() >= 0
Console.WriteLi ne(sr.ReadLine( ))
Loop
sr.Close()
Response.Write( "File Created: " & fileName)
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write( ex.Message & "<br>" & ex.StackTrace)
End Try
1  2210 
Ok, I did a workaround, but I'm still interested if anyone knows or can
guess at what happened here.
textPassed = Request.Form("t extpass")
textPassed = "<html><bod y>" & textPassed & "</body></html>"
textPassed = textPassed.Repl ace(Chr(160), " ")
textPassed = textPassed.Repl ace("-", "-")
That fixes this symptom, but I still dont' know what the problem is...

Hi all,
The following code was suggested by one of the users in this newsgroup when
a pdf file was requested by a user from an asp page. I used the similar code
in my page and the very interesting thing is when the pdf is displayed on the
fly, the whole page is a gibberish code in stead of a normal pdf file. But it
displays fine if I just use a link to a file on the page. Can you tell me
what's the possible reason will cause this problem?...
