asp_databases thread: Create Downloadable Delimited File with ASP


Message #1 by andrew_bagley@e... on Thu, 25 Apr 2002 12:37:57
I have an asp web page which picks up data out of a SQL Server. 

The items are MyDate, MyValue

The data is used to create a history chart of the data but I'd also like 
to create a downloadable comma delimited (CSV) file of the data which can 
then be imported to Excel. Can anyone give me some starting points for 
doing this?

Thanks

Andrew

just use the File Scripting Object to create a file and then create it :

write (MyDate & "," & MyValue & ",")

Greg,

thanks for the lead. I'll take a look into "write". Sorry for the time to 
get back on this, I couldn't seem to get onto the site on Friday.

Regards

Andrew
