Alex, you don't say what problem you're having.
My recollection (which may be foggy) is that the VB Replace function was
not supported in IIS4's VBScript, but is supported in IIS 5's. Look up
"Replace function" in docs or on line and try it. If it doesn't work,
you can try the one I wrote years ago, code below.
Once you've replaced the slashes, you can concatenate "file:" (ignore
auto-HTML formatting in this message) to your string.
strLink = "file:" & strFixedString
Is there a problem doing this? What is it?
If you want to bend your brain a little, look up "regular expressions"
on the MSDN web site for a different way of manipulating strings. An
entire book is about to be published on the subject by O'Reilly, which
may finally help me understand the black art of using them.
HTH
(watch for improper line breaks in the code below)
Function MyReplace(strIn, strOldText, strNewText)
' replace�instances of strOldText found in strIn
' with strNewText
' returns new string, strIn is preserved
Dim intPos
Dim strOut
Dim intOldLen
'�initialize�working string
strOut = strIn
intOldLen = Len(strOldText)
intPos = Instr(1,strOut,strOldText)
Do Until intPos = 0
strOut = Left(strOut, intPos-1) & strNewText & Mid(strOut,
intPos + intOldLen)
intPos = Instr(1,strOut,strOldText)
Loop
MyReplace = strOut
End Function
After you've done the replacement
