Hi Guys,



 could you all have a look at the code below.. thanks.. now could one of you

smack me on the back of the head and tell me how stupid ive been.. cause

something is stopping it from working.. and i dunno what!!!! and there is a

"Hervey Bay" line in the text, The dumb thing is this has worked before on a

different text file... also it throws no error...



 

            

            dim txtpath, txtopenfile, txtfso, txtloc

            

            txtpath = server.mappath ("idq10080.txt")

            set txtfso = _

            server.createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")

            set txtopenfile = _

            txtfso.opentextfile(txtpath,1)

            

            do while not txtopenfile.atendofstream

            

            txtloc = trim(txtopenfile.readline)

            

               

           if txtopenfile.readline = "Hervey Bay" then

            

           

            response.write txtopenfile.readline

            response.write "<br>"

            response.write txtopenfile.readline

            response.write "<br>"

            response.write txtopenfile.readline

            response.write "<br>"

            response.write txtopenfile.readline

            response.write "<br>"

           

           end if



            

            loop

            

            txtopenfile.close

            set txtopenfile = nothing

            set txtfso = nothing

            set txtpath = nothing

  

         

What is the error message. Then we can smack you on the back of your head

:-).

Oops. I re-read your message again and saw 'also it throws no error'.



I take it that the text file is in the same directory as the ASP page? From

what I understand of the documentation that I have you would get back a path

to a non-existant file. If you include  '/' or '\' at the start of the path

it takes that as web root, otherwise it returns a relative path.



Does the text file have any information in it?
