ASP GetTempName

If you want to create a temporary file while manipulating data on the server, you can use the ASP GetTempName of the FileSystemObject to create one, with a randomly generated and unique filename.

If you want to go one stage further you can use the GetSpecialFolder method to store the file in the Windows temporary folder.

Here's how we do it:

Select All Code

<%
dim fso,temp_folder,temp_name,temp_file
Set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
Set temp_folder=fso.GetSpecialFolder(2)
temp_name=fso.GetTempName
Set temp_file=temp_folder.CreateTextFile(temp_name) 
Response.write temp_folder & "\" & temp_name
%>

Output: C:\WINNT\Temp\rad624B4.tmp
