Multiple Page Generator

[njabe567]

I have an ASP site, trying to figure out an easier way of making multiple pages. Instead of actually creating a page over and over manually. The template will stay the same, similar urls. For example:

www.example.com/iowa.asp
www.example.com/florida.asp
www.example.com/texas.asp

So basically the pages will all generally look the same but the content will be different. Im not to sure if what Im asking is ridiculous but I figured their is some sort of app that can do this. Thanks

You're going to need some sort of URL rewriting tool. You can either build your own, or install a 3rd party tool.

You can use the FileSystemObject to create pages in ASP, in a Microsoft app like Access or via a local WSH script.

Here's an example ASP sub to create a file:

Sub CreateFile(strFilePath, strContent)
 Dim fso
 Dim txs
 'overwrite file if it already exists
 Const FILE_OVERWRITE = True
 'setup filesystemobject
 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 'create new file and add content
 Set txs = fso.CreateTextFile(strFilePath, FILE_OVERWRITE)
 txs.Write strContent
 txs.Close
'clean up
 Set txs = Nothing
 Set fso = Nothing
End Sub

So if you have all your data in a database, you could use ADO to loop through a data query and FSO to create a page for each record. HTH.
