ASP / PerlScript reading and writing to files...

roger_owen333 · Jan 26, 2006

In ASP using PerlScript how do I read and write to files?

I tried:

my $File = $Server->CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

my $a = $File->CreateTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", true);

but the following two lines cause an error???

$a->WriteLine("This is a test.");

$a->Close();

In ASP using JavaScript the following works:

// JScript

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

var a = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", true);

a.WriteLine("This is a test.");

a.Close();

Why do you repeat the question instead of following up the responses you
got?

It would appear after much researching that ASP using PerlScript can
not write to or read from files so I decided to use JavaScript using
ActiveX Objects that does not require ASP. It is possible to read and
write to files with an HTML page using JavaScript alone. This is what I
tried:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var file = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\new.txt", true);
file.Write("This is a test.");
file.Write("This is a test.");
file.Write("This is a test.*\n");
file.Write("This is a test.");
file.Write("This is a test.");
file.Write("This is a test.*\n");
file.Close();

var line;

var ForReading = 1;

file = fs

penTextFile("c:\\new.txt", ForReading);

while ( !file.AtEndOfStream ){

line = file.ReadLine();

document.write(line);

}

file.Close();

-->
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>

</BODY>
</HTML>
