    This example uses the OpenTextFile method of FileSystemObject Object.




    Example One: Creating a text file through ASP

    Creates a text file in a specific directory.
    In the 4th line of code just specify how the file gets
    opened up. Everytime the ASP page gets opened up
    it will create a new file and overwrite any existing data!

    <%
    Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
    Dim fso, f
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:testfile.txt", ForWriting, True)
    f.Write "Hello world!"


    %>

    Example Two: Appending to a text file through ASP

    Appends to a text file in a specific directory.
    In the 4th line of code just specify how the file gets
    opened up. Everytime the ASP page gets opened up
    it will create a new file and append new data to the
    existing file!

     

    <%
    Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
    Dim fso, f
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:testfile.txt", ForAppending, True)
    f.Write "Hello world!"
