thanks everyone for your replies on searching a folder with 100's of files in it. i DO NOT have admin access to the server. i have written a vbscript function on the server-side, where i pass the name of the folder and loop through the files using FSO and comparing the string-names of each file to the searched-for name.
i have over 900 files in one folder, and it is not even noticeable when the page loads. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Tifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 9:03 AM To: ActiveServerPages Subject: Re: File Search If you're going to go this route though, you might as well perform the searching filter server-side because you're still going to have to loop through it to write out the contents of the array to be processed as HTML. While it might speed it up a little bit, you're already going through it once... Do it right then I'd say (if you decide to use this technique) Chris Tifer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Middleweek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ActiveServerPages" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 10:32 AM Subject: RE: File Search > Hi, > > If you want to remove some of the stress from the server and use ClientSide > JS to perform the sequential search on the files, you could... > > 1).
