Subject: FileSystemObject

Question
Hi Dennis

I am using Windows XP Pro, with IIS as a dev web server for asp.

I want to use the FileSystemObject to read filenames (html files) from a given folder, then use the TextStream object to open the top 6 latest files and display the contents in 6 rows of a table.

I am happy with the overall strategy and code (taken from a handbook) however FileSystemObject and Textstream object don't appear to be supported by IIS.

Can you shed any light please ?

Kind regards

Geoff  

Answer
FileSystemObject or FSO is supported by IIS, but it will only read files locally placed on the server, and since this is you pc it should't give any problems.

Haven't used texstream but as far as I remember, it is also i MS product, and therefore should work.

Dennis
