just strip out all the output from your asp script so that the only
thing it returns is the filename you're looking for. since you're not
using the asp script the way it was intended to be used you don't need
all the "presentation" that goes along with it.

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.
