I am trying to use FSO to display a text file in a three column format with headers in a web browser using ASP. How would I modify the sample code below to achieve this?

VB

Dim OpenFileobj, FSOobj,FilePath
FilePath=Server.MapPath("O.txt") 
Set FSOobj = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")


if FSOobj.fileExists(FilePath) Then
Set OpenFileobj = FSOobj.OpenTextFile(FilePath, 1)

Do While Not OpenFileobj.AtEndOfStream
Response.Write OpenFileobj.ReadLine &amp; "&lt;br&gt;"
Loop

OpenFileobj.Close
Set OpenFileobj = Nothing
Else
Response.Write "File does not exist"
End if
Set FSOobj = Nothing

Thanks

Just to clarify, this is classic ASP, right?

You should start by removing the <br></br> tag and re-organizing a little bit so that you're not reading from the file and writing to the response stream in the same statement.

1) Add a Response.Write("<table>") before reading the lines
2) Add a Response.Write("<tr>") before each line
3) Split the string you've read (what is your delimiter?)
4) Add a <td> tag around each of the three elements in the line
5) Close your <tr> tag
6) After all lines are read, add a Response.Write("</table>") to close out the table

If you are in ASP.NET there are much more elegant ways to do this.

Cheers.
