Creating the link is as simple as reading the address file and
writing the address out!
set FileObject =
server.CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
in_file =
“addr.ip”
temp =
SERVER.MAPPATH(REQUEST.SERVERVARIABLES(“PATH_INFO”))
‘get the current directory
i =
len(temp) – 1
j = i
done = 0
do while done =
0
if mid(temp,i,1) = “”
then
FTP_PATH =
MID(TEMP,1, i)
done =
1
else
i =
i – 1
if i = 0
then
done =
1
end if
end
if
loop
file_name = FTP_PATH & in_file ‘ create the full filename with path
on
error resume next
Set InStream= FileObject.OpenTextFile
(file_name, 1, False, False)
if err.number 0 then
response.write
(“Sorry, Bobs dynamic link server is not up”) ‘
no file to read
else
address =Trim(
InStream.Readline )
my_time =Trim( InStream.Readline
)
if address = “OUT” then ‘ OUT
means we have signed out
response.write (“Sorry, dynamic link was signed out ” & my_time
& “
“)
response.write
(“I am probably still at work, try again later”)
else
%> ‘ we have a good
address at this point so create a link
<a href="http://”>A dynamic link: up since
END IF
END IF
%>
It’s that easy!
