Try assigning the result of the @url tag to a variable and parse that to
get the asp filename.

Either use a regex expression to get the value between the 'embed src='
and the '/embed' strings, or use @locate to get the position of the
embed tags and use @substring to extract the value of the filename from
between them.

If you display the variable returned to the @url tag without any
encoding it should show the html for the embed tag and help you debug
it.

Subject: Witango-Talk: ASP Again

Okay, here's the deal.

Witango 2000
Win2K

I have a program that I purchased that allows me to write directly to 
pdfs via web input. The pdfs already exist, and the program 
automatically saves the altered pdfs as a timestamp and random 
number. The program utilizes asp to accomplish this.

I am using the <@URL> tag to run the program via Witango and it is 
working well (thanks), but I am having a difficult time trying to 
figure out a way to get the new pdf file name into a variable. I need 
this so I can write a routine that will email the file and save the 
info in a db.

Tha last line in the ASP file allows for an embed to display the 
newly created pdf. I don't want to display the pdf, but I need to get 
the name somwhow over to Witango. Is this possible? the last line 
is...

<embed src="./<%Response.Write filename%>"></embed>

I take it that "filename" is the asp variable. I also take it that 
<%Respone.Write filename%> can be used to write out and display the 
name (which it does).

Is there any way to carry this variable into a Witango variable? Kind 
of like...

<@ASSIGN pdfName "<%Respone.Write filename%>">

Thanks

I am an ASP and VBscript illiturate.
