asp_web_howto thread: writing to a text file error
Message #1 by "Nick" <nick@f...> on Wed, 28 Nov 2001 12:15:36

Hi all,
I am having trouble writing a string to a text file. The code is failing
on the objTS.Write(strData) and the error is:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'
Invalid procedure call or argument
/guardian/index.asp, line 126
The code i have used is below. The string to be written to the text file
is below that. Any help appreciated.

objTS.Close

Hi Nick,
Which line exactly in your example is line 126? Do you declare what data is
in strData as the text string somewhere within your script? It looks like
it may be a SUB or FUNCTION which is not referenced correctly.
HTH,
Jason

line 126 is: objTS.Write(strData)
The response of an xmlhttp object is assigned to strData
Dim xmlHTTP
Set xmlHTTP = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
'set the http headers to fetch
xmlHTTP.Open "GET", catArr(i, 0), false
' send the request
xmlhttp.Send
' assign the response (an html string) to the strData variable
strData = xmlHTTP.responseText

strData has a value assigned to it in the following line so no quotes are
needed.
strData = xmlHTTP.responseText
The xmlHTTP.responseText spans many lines (see my original post).

I think it is something to do with the strData as if i do:
strChar = Left(strChar, 46)
before trying to write it to the textstream this leaves strChar with a value
of "<!-- Vignette V/5 Wed Nov 28 10:16:25 2001 -->"
and this does not cause an error when writing it to the text stream.
Any ideas?
