how to parse the query string in asp

Hello experts,

I have an asp page like this:

<%
response.write "<form method=post name=add_image action=image_app.asp onsubmit='return error_check()'>"
response.write "<td>Admin</td>"
response.write "<td><input type=text name=file_name size=40></td>"
response.write "<td><input type=text name=sort_order size=3></td>"
response.write "<td><input type=text name=title size=15 maxlength=50></td>"
response.write "<td><input type=text name=comments size=50 maxlength=100></td>"
response.write "</tr></table><p>"
response.write "<input type=hidden name=dept value=Admin>"
response.write "<input type=hidden name=add_record value=yes>"
response.write "<input type=hidden name=update value=no>"
response.write "<input type=hidden name=delete value=no>"
response.write "<input type=submit name=insert value=Submit></form>"%>

Open in new window

How can I parse the query string and put the name variable in the file_name?

My query string looks like this:

http://dev.corp.com/image%20maintenance/image_app.asp?name=index.htm

Open in new window

Thanks.

Carrzkiss,

thanks. That is working. OK, so I don't know much about classic asp. I code in asp.net and my boss codes in asp and I just try to make everything work together. So, we shouldn't put response.write in front of plain html code? Makes sense to me. But if you want to elaborate, I am happy to pass the info along to my team.

Thank you !

Take a look at the following example.

This will help you to understand ASP Classic a LOT better.
This will also show you how to protect your code as well, which the
Function that I created ProtectSQL, I use in some of my ASP.NET Upload Scripts.

Take Care
