Great Idea! Thanks Dave. I would have never thought to have
approached this from this angle!!!
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.
Dave.

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.
