Storing the names of those 900 files in an Application variable may speed this up a little bit because you won't have to use FSO every time this page is called.
How many Application variables are you already utilizing? They can be great, and actually, we use them en masse on our sites. We never use any Session variables though. To make this a bit more modular, take your VBScript function and put it in a file like i_App_Filenames.asp and include that in your global.asa. Then, any time you want to update that APP variable, just include that .asp page and call the function. (Update it only if you know you need to) Chris Tifer http://www.emailajoke.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "EXT-Sauceda, Gilbert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ActiveServerPages" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 4:16 PM Subject: RE: File Search > 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.
