HI,
I have set up a page with a form which appends data to a .csv file on my asp
server, this is to enable a limited number of users to add news threads to
this file, which contains the data in the following format
(date,headline, article);
"181003","n ews title","news article"
"171003","o lder news title","news article"
The form adds the data in reverse chronological order with newest at the top
of the list.
Now I wish to be able to write the contents of the csv file to a table cell,
formatted the same as the rest of the page (if I use the include tag I get
unformatted text and all the speach marks and no paragraph tag in between
items).
I am new to javascript and asp, although I do have a basic understanding of
how they work.
Could someone kindly explain the best way to achieve this, I'm not looking
for someone to do my hard work for me nessacerely, if it isn't possible to
show me the coding needed, just an explanation will help greatly.
Many thanks in advance

I get a "The page cannot be displayed" (HTTP500) error - I am running this
on my ISP server if that makes a difference?
All I have altered is to replace "d:\\temp\\test .txt" with "text.asp" (all
files in the root of my webspace)

Here is a very simple example. You can modify the table layout in the
line 24 and following.

Yep - would the server object be too much of a security risk to run on the
ISP server or is this a common practice?

I suggest that you discuss this with your ISP. On Windows servers (on
others too), it's possible to set pretty much any security restriction
on files and directories. To get access to files, the server must be
registered as a user for the directory the file is in. Without feedback
from your ISP, it's pretty much a wild guess.

Hi Laurent,
just got the following from my ISP - any help?
Cheers,
StumpY
FileSystemObjec t
Description
Provides access to a computer's file system.
Syntax
Scripting.FileS ystemObject
Remarks
The following code illustrates how the FileSystemObjec t is used to
return a TextStream object that can be read from or written to:
Set fs = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")
Set a = fs.CreateTextFi le("c:\testfile .txt", True)
a.WriteLine("Th is is a test.")
a.Close
In the code shown above, the CreateObject function returns the
FileSystemObjec t (fs). The CreateTextFile method then creates the file as a
TextStream object (a), and the WriteLine method writes a line of text to the
created text file. The Close method flushes the buffer and closes the file.

Is it possible to access text inside another opened window on the client

Toooo tired to look this one up.
I have data that I need to acces in a small program. The
data is accessable from an ASP webpage that I created
myself. If I need to see data from record #25, I just
open http://mydomain.com/datapage.asp?recnum=25. I would
like to read this data directly into a variable. I'm sure
this is quite easy (as easy as Fileopen), but I just
can't seem to find it.

I have a database set up where I want to export the records to a cd. I
want to be able to create an autorun cd and have it based on HTML so
when it opens, the user can click on various links and it will show them
the corresponding record.
Any ideas? A template or merge would be great as not all the records
from the DB would be going on the CD.
