lets say i have a file called 'myfile.asp'
it is located in the directory:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\thisdir\thatdir\anotherdir\so_on\further\yougetthemessag
e
this is a long directory. Lets say I dont know the directory, but I just
have the filename, and i'm in the current directory of the file.
Can anybody tell me how to locate the path to a file in any directory?
<%
'I'm in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\temp directory with a file called blank.asp
'the code below does not work, but I have no idea how to write a function
to
'do the above method
set fsys = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
response.write "file is in " & fsys.path("blank.asp")
%>

If you know the path in relation to where you are, then the following will
work:
Server.Mappath("../thisdir\thatdir\anotherdir\so_on\further\yougetthemessag
")
If this is what you are thinking. If you don't know the path, but know that
it is on the same machine, you can use the fileSystemObject to recurse
through all the paths on the machine to find it.
Regards,
Wally

use server.mappath() to ascertain your current physical path
