VBScript&ASP: want to check the existence of a file on the server !
Posted on 1998-09-04
Hi.
I have a NT server with IIS4 etc.
I build a web site that use ONLY html, vbscript, asp.
The website is called "Website"
The directory is: "c:\InetPub\wwwroot\Websit
The actual page is "page.asp"
I want to display in the returned file ("page.asp") when the client("slave") asks for "page.asp" to the server ("master") a link only if a specified file is present on the server in "c:\InetPub\wwwroot\Websit
This page is called "present.asp"
If this page exits by a click on this link you'll jump to it
If this page doesn't exist you'll jump to "ouch.asp"
Please ask for more infos if i'm not understandable.
Thanx
A+rno

arnaudg,
put this into "page.asp":
<%
On Error Resume Next
' See if present.asp has any content:
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.Fi
Set ts = fs.OpenTextFile(Server.Map
txt = ""
txt = ts.ReadLine
ts.Close
' Create Link:
If txt = "" Then
Response.Write "<a href='ouch.asp'>myLink</a>
Else
Response.Write "<a href='present.asp'>myLink<
End If
%>
Regards
