ASP Array To JS Sort() & Back
I Have This ASP Page That Reads Recreates html On THe Fly Of A Directory Structure With Links That Call Upon Itself To Navigate All Subfolders And Files.
Problem Is, It Doesn't Sort Alphabetically
I'm Thinking JScript's Sort();
But I Need To Send The Array To JS And Back Again.
And I Don't Know How.
Please Help.
Here's The Code:
<%
response.write "<body bgcolor='#d3d3d3' text='#000000' link='#FF0000' vlink='#0000FF'>"
' newpath will be the directory name passed in the URL when we
' link to another directory
newpath = request.querystring("newpa
folderspec = "/"
' we want to add a forward slash to the new path if the
' value of newpath isn't a zero-length string
if newpath<>"" then
folderspec = folderspec & newpath & "/"
end if
' now we will create our filesystem object
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.Fi
' now we will define the folder and subfolders
Set folder = fs.GetFolder(server.mappat
Set subfolder = folder.subfolders
' let's return some HTML code here
response.write "<p><font face='arial' size='4'><strong>DIRECTORY
' Now we've got to take the path represented by the variable
' newpath and trim off the last subdirectory so we can use that
' as a link to the directory above it. We will do that first
' checking if there is, indeed, a value for newpath, and if there
' is, we will search for a forward slash in the string, starting
' from the end of the string, and use that position as a pointer
' so we know how many characters to peel off of the string "newpath".
' Since the pointer is at the position of the forward slash and we
' don't want the forward slash to remain, we'll subtract 1 from it.
If newpath="" then
response.write "<br>"
end if
If newpath<>"" then
Pointer = instrrev(newpath,"/")
' if the forward slash is found, we'll create the link to the
' directory above the current one.
If Pointer>0 then
UpOneLevel = Left(newpath,Pointer-1)

' Now let's make provisions where the forward slash isn't found
Else
response.write "<a href='" & request.servervariables("s
response.write "'><img src='up.gif' border='0'></a></p>"
End If
End If
' Now we can go through and add links to all the subfolders
For Each newfolder in subfolder
if newfolder.name = "Recycled" then
arttem="t"
else
response.write "<A HREF='"

End If
response.write "'>"
response.write newfolder.name
response.write "</A><br>"
end if
Next
' Ok, time to go grab those files in the current directory
' First we'll do a bit of HTML
response.write "<p><strong>Current directory = \" & folder.name & "</strong></p>"
Set filelist = folder.files
' iterate through the files and make them links

response.write "<A HREF='"
response.write folderspec & file.name
response.write "'>"
response.write file.name & " - " & datevalue(file.datecreated
response.write "</A><br>"
Next
' Now let's clean up after ourselves - destroy those objects
set folder=nothing
set subfolder=nothing

set fs=nothing
' a little bit more HTML formatting and we're done!

I've Seen Those In My Own Search But,
I Don't Think Thats What I'm Looking For.
That Suposedly List File/Folders In Order Of File Extention
I Want Folers Listed Alphabeticaly And Then Files Listed Alphabeticaly
The Sample A Gave In My Last Comment Lists Folders And Then Files But Not Alphabeticaly
Ferthermore I Couldn't Get That Page To Work For Me So I Can't Really See Its Results.

OK I Got It TO Work Now Let Me Play With That A Wile Thanks
I'll Let You Know

Nope Still Not Sorted Alphabeticaly
ASKER
Also That Sample Dosn't Work Through Subdirectories
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?ta=asp&qid=20147188
I posted code on that question that will do probably exactly what you want. And if not, could be changed to do what you want.

The Code I Provided Is More Complex Than You Are Both Showing Me
Look At My Code
Goto:

Click A Link To A Folder And See The Results
Notice THe Links Are To The Same Asp But With A "?dir" After It. That Grabs Thats Directory's Folders And Files And Reads Then Into A New Page.
AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Niether Of The 2 Samples Did What I'm Looking For.
SIMPLY PUT.
