Reading a file from my server folder - 7/31/2008 12:10:32 AM

Status: offline 		I have been working for about a month now trying to read a text file I have in my
web space on my server (GoDaddy if that helps).  I have been very unsuccessful.
Rather than ask for help fixing my script, could someone please suggest some simple code
that I can upload to my server that will read a text file named sched.txt.  This will, at least,
prove to me that I have the ability to read from a file.  Thank you.

Const ForReading = 1

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("\\SERVERNAME\FOLDERPATH\FILENAME.txt", ForReading)
strContents = objTextFile.ReadAll
objTextFile.Close

Wscript.Echo strContents

Status: offline 		Thank you for you help ninjamaster.  I tried your code in my web page and nothing
happened.  So I put message boxes in between lines of code to see how much of the script
it was parsing.  The message box before the CreateObject worked, but that was it.  I also wasn't
sure what to put in for SERVERNAME (I used GoDaddy) and FOLDERPATH (I used root).  Where
do you get these values from?  Could this be why it didn't work or is the script not even getting
this far?  Hope you can help, thanks.

The website is GoDaddy but is that the name of your server that the website runs on?

Simple test. Dump the text to the root of your PC and rewrite the code to point to that file. Once that works you know that reading the file works.

Then change the code to point to the location of the file on your server.
