DOC: Incorrect Code Sample in the InterDev Documentation

Last reviewed: December 11, 1997
Article ID: Q166888

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SUMMARY

In the "User's Guide, Server-Side Scripting" documentation under the topic "Using The Server Object" in the section "Reading from and Writing to Files" there is an incorrect code sample.

The existing code is as follows:

   <%
   Set OutStream = Server.CreateObject("MS.TextStream")
   OutStream.CreateTextFile "tsworks.txt", , True
   OutStream.WriteLine "This line is written to the file."
   %>

The correct code is as follows:

   <%
   Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True)
   a.WriteLine("This is a test.")
   a.Close
   %>
