OK so here's the situation. I've got a classic ASP website running inside an MVC 4 application. I need the classic ASP website to be able to get a key from the appsettings section of the web.config file.
Here is the function I've got:
' Imports a site string from an xml file (usually web.config)
Function ImportMySite(webConfig, attrName, reformatMSN)
Dim oXML, oNode, oChild, oAttr, dsn
Set oXML=Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
oXML.Async = "false"
oXML.Load(Server.MapPath(webConfig))
Set oNode = oXML.GetElementsByTagName("appSettings").Item(0)
Set oChild = oNode.GetElementsByTagName("add")
' Get the first match
For Each oAttr in oChild
If oAttr.getAttribute("key") = attrName then
dsn = oAttr.getAttribute("mysite")
ImportMySite = dsn
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
Here is the function call code:
msn = ImportMySite("web.config", "mysite", false)
So when I call this function the value I get back is always blank or null. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, I'm a total novice with XML so maybe I'm missing something completely obvious. I have searched the questions but couldn't find anything related to this using classic ASP.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I appreciate Connor's work. It got me well along the way to making this happen. I made some changes that I think might be helpful to others.
I did not want to have to repeat the file name for each call and I have a couple of sections in my config. This seemed more general. Also, I consolidated his changes into a for-sure working example. You can paste this into your app, change the CONFIG_FILE_PATH and get on with your life.
'******************************GetConfigValue*******************************
' Purpose: Utility function to get value from a configuration file.
' Conditions: CONFIG_FILE_PATH must be refer to a valid XML file
' Input: sectionName - a section in the file, eg, appSettings
' attrName - refers to the "key" attribute of an entry
' Output: A string containing the value of the appropriate entry
'***************************************************************************
CONFIG_FILE_PATH="Web.config" 'if no qualifier, refers to this directory. can point elsewhere.
Function GetConfigValue(sectionName, attrName)
Dim oXML, oNode, oChild, oAttr, dsn
Set oXML=Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
oXML.Async = "false"
oXML.Load(Server.MapPath(CONFIG_FILE_PATH))
Set oNode = oXML.GetElementsByTagName(sectionName).Item(0)
Set oChild = oNode.GetElementsByTagName("add")
' Get the first match
For Each oAttr in oChild
If oAttr.getAttribute("key") = attrName then
dsn = oAttr.getAttribute("value")
GetConfigValue = dsn
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
settingValue = GetConfigValue("appSettings", "someKeyName")
Response.Write(settingValue)
OK I found my answer.
I changed:
For Each oAttr in oChild
If oAttr.getAttribute("key") = attrName then
dsn = oAttr.getAttribute("mysite")
ImportMySite = dsn
Exit Function
End If
Next
To:
For Each oAttr in oChild
If oAttr.getAttribute("key") = attrName then
dsn = oAttr.getAttribute("value")
ImportMySite = dsn
Exit Function
End If
Next

When I open a T-Code from SAP GUI, some of the fields are pre-populated from past queries. Is it possible to enter a T-Code and all the fields in the next window to be forced blank?
I develop scripts for SAP GUI and run into problems if fields already have content from prior queries.
The history cannot be disabled user-wise. Period.
Either all or nobody.
If you want to disable the history go to SAPgui options into Local data setting
The history in Windows is a simple Access MDB file but it is password-protected, so you may try to crack it and delete only your user lines but it is a bunch of work.
However, I guess the history that makes you crazy is not what I described above, but SPA/GPA parameters. Check it first
You can empty some fields with :
""
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtRMMG1_REF-BWTAR").Text = ""
But doesn't work all the time...
My method for this is to loop through all the fields (and recursively on all children elements) and set the text value of them to an empty string.
On read-only fields it throws an error and this is why "On Error Resume Next" is necessary.
Sub Start_Clearing()
'setup SAP
If Not IsObject(SAPApplication) Then
Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")
Set SAPApplication = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine
End If
If Not IsObject(Connection) Then
Set Connection = SAPApplication.Children(0)
End If
If Not IsObject(Session) Then
Set Session = Connection.Children(0)
End If
If IsObject(WScript) Then
WScript.ConnectObject Session, "on"
WScript.ConnectObject SAPApplication, "on"
End If
Dim UserArea As Object
Set UserArea = Session.findByID("wnd[0]/usr")
Clear_Fields UserArea
End Sub
'_______________________________
Sub Clear_Fields(Area As Object)
Set SAPApplication = GetObject("SAPGUI").GetScriptingEngine
Dim Obj As Object
Dim NextArea As Object
On Error Resume Next
For i = 0 To Area.Children.Count - 1
Set Obj = Area.Children(CInt(i))
If Obj.ContainerType = True Then
If Obj.Children.Count > 0 Then
Set NextArea = SAPApplication.findByID(Obj.ID)
Clear_Fields NextArea
End If
End If
Obj.Text = ""
Next i
End Sub
The following code:
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not fso.FolderExists(path) Then
fso.CreateFolder(path)
End If
Is producing the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a003a' File already exists
If I delete the folder, so that ASP is able to create it itself, it works as expected.
It's only when I manually (or using DOS MKDIR) create it that FolderExists returns false and CreateFolder throws the above error.
What's going on here?
EDIT:
The variable path contains the string C:\Windows\Temp\email_attachments\ and FolderExists seems to be returning false for directories that have been around since before the last startup.
Hi my worked code.
file_path="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\upload\2018\4"
set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
tmpArr = Split(file_path, "\")
tmpPath = tmpArr(0)
For i = 1 To UBound(tmpArr)
If Not fso.FolderExists(Server.MapPath(tmpPath)) Then
fso.CreateFolder Server.MapPath(tmpPath)
End If
tmpPath = tmpPath & "\" & tmpArr(i)
Next
I'm very new to VBS and experimenting with removing the read only attribute from a directory recursively.
It's removing the read only attribute for files but not for the directories. Also The files within these directories seem to have lost their associated program link and are now all showing as an unregistered file type. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update: I can see why the files have lost their associations now. It's because the . which separates the name from the extension has been removed! Doh! Ideally I'd like to rename the filename only.
re.Pattern = "[_.]"
re.IgnoreCase = True
re.Global = True
RemoveReadonlyRecursive("T:\Torrents\")
Sub RemoveReadonlyRecursive(DirPath)
ReadOnly = 1
Set oFld = FSO.GetFolder(DirPath)
For Each oFile in oFld.Files
If oFile.Attributes AND ReadOnly Then
oFile.Attributes = oFile.Attributes XOR ReadOnly
End If
If re.Test(oFile.Name) Then
oFile.Name = re.Replace(oFile.Name, " ")
End If
Next
For Each oSubFld in oFld.SubFolders
If oSubFld.Attributes AND ReadOnly Then
oSubFld.Attributes = oSubFld.Attributes XOR ReadOnly
End If
If re.Test(oSubFld.Name) Then
oSubFld.Name = re.Replace(oSubFld.Name, " ")
End If
RemoveReadonlyRecursive(oSubFld.Path)
Next
End Sub
It seems you want to automate a repeatable action by a script. Why don't you use the attrib command to do that for you:
attrib -r "T:\Torrents\*.*" /S
You can place that in a batch file if you want to attach it to an clickable icon.
EDIT:
To run it from VBScript silently:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "attrib -r ""T:\Torrents\*.*"" /S", 0, true)
EDIT2:
To replace everything except the last period, use a regular expression like:
filename = "my file.name.001.2012.extension"
Set regEx = New RegExp
' Make two captures:
' 1. Everything except the last dot
' 2. The last dot and after that everything that is not a dot
regEx.Pattern = "^(.*)(\.[^.]+)$" ' Make two captures:
' Replace everything that is a dot in the first capture with nothing and append the second capture
For each match in regEx.Execute(filename)
newFileName = replace(match.submatches(0), ".", "") & match.submatches(1)

I have the following xml result from this link - https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=BorisKarlov
<eveapi version="2">
<currentTime>2013-01-16 18:57:38</currentTime>
<result>
<rowset name="characters" key="characterID" columns="name,characterID">
<row name="BorisKarlov" characterID="315363291"/>
</rowset>
</result>
<cachedUntil>2013-02-16 18:57:38</cachedUntil>
</eveapi>
and I am trying to extract the characterID into asp. I am using the following code,
Set oXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")
oXML.LoadXML("https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=BorisKarlov")
Set oRoot = oXML.selectSingleNode("//result")
For Each oNode In oRoot.childNodes
response.Write oNode.Attributes.getNamedItem("characterID").Text
Next
Set oXML = Nothing
All i keep getting is the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'oRoot'
.............
I can only assume that Set oRoot = oXML.selectSingleNode("//result") is not actually generating any data and therefore throwing up the error in the next line.
Can anyone please shed some light on my problem?
You have a few problems there.
loadXML() is for loading a block of XML as a string, not fetching from a remote server; for that, you need to use load()
when loading from a server, you need to tell it to use the ServerXMLHTTP component, and set async to false so that it waits until loaded before executing the rest of your script.
when I tried loading that XML, I got an encoding error; you will need to resolve that one way or another
when I loaded the XML directly from a string, it wouldn't parse because there is a script element containing non-XML content; that needs to be contained within a CDATA section
your XPath query is to //result, but you actually need it to be //result/rowset
This code should work once you resolve issues 3 and 4 above:
Set oXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")
oXML.async = False
oXML.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", true
oXML.Load("https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=BorisKarlov")
If oXML.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
Response.Write "<p>XML parse error: " & Server.HTMLEncode(oXML.parseError.reason) & "</p>"
Else
Set oRoot = oXML.selectSingleNode("//result/rowset")
If oRoot Is Nothing Then
response.write "Nothing!"
response.end
End If
For Each oNode In oRoot.childNodes
response.Write oNode.Attributes.getNamedItem("characterID").Text
Next
End If
Set oXML = Nothing
Edit: to get around the problem #3, and oddly also #4 (don't know why!), use this snippet to load the XML instead. For some reason, I think the code above isn't handling the gzip compressed stream correctly, but this code below does.
Set oXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")
Set xh = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
xh.open "GET", "https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=BorisKarlov", False
xh.send
xml = xh.responseText
oXML.LoadXML xml
I have taken over a departing programmer's Classic ASP object, and I'm trying to debug some DAC code. The trouble is I don't really understand what DAC is or how it works -- and I can't find were the DAC code "lives".
Here's the individual line of code:
set runObj = server.CreateObject("DAC.clsDb_container")
We use SQL Server, and I looked in Enterprise Manager under Stored Procedures and User-Defined functions, but I don't see anything named clsDB_container.
Any suggestions where I can find the code for this DAC object?
The full code in context:
FUNCTION getNewGUID
Dim runCON, runObj, runCMD
DebugWrite( "<BEGIN> iRoutines.asp|getNewGUID (a) GUID=" & GUID & " dealernum=" & dealernum )
set runObj = server.CreateObject("DAC.clsDb_container")
if not runObj.run_query("EXEC sproc_createGUID") then
traperror(runObj.DB_ErrStr)
else
GUID = replace(runObj.get_by_ordinal(0),"-","")
dealernum_len = trim(cstr(len(dealernum)))
set runObj = nothing
end if
getNewGUID = dealernum_len & dealernum & GUID
DebugWrite( "<END> iRoutines.asp|getNewGUID (b) getNewGUID=" & getNewGUID & " dealernum=" & dealernum )
END FUNCTION
This looks like a custom COM object that was written as a data access layer for the site.
The name of the object would be DAC.clsDb_container and lives in a DLL somewhere on the web server.
It is not standard - you will need to look for (I am guessing here) the VB6 or Delphi code that created it if you want to be enlightened further.
if all you need is a GUID then you could do this
<%
Function createGuid()
Set TypeLib = Server.CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
dim tg : tg = TypeLib.Guid
createGuid = left(tg, len(tg)-2)
Set TypeLib = Nothing
End Function
