Is there a way to get the subfolder, and folder that a file is in, using the
filesystem or something else??
Let's say my user.asp file is user specific.
it would be located in folders as follows
user/uni/user.asp
i would need a way of finding what the subfolder the file is in, as well as
the root folder it is in.
is this possible??

Thanks,
Bam

Thanks for the reply, but that is only part of what I need.
the path_info and URL shows the same thing. What I need IS contained in
there, but is there a way to extract it?
so I could use the info like this. Say......
Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
gives me this for example::
Bam/uni30/index.asp Now what I need is to extract out the Bam varUSER
= "Bam" and varUNI = 30
is there a way to do this??

Look at the Split function
eg.
vPathComponents = Split(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO"),"/")
in the case of Bam/uni30/index.asp you'll find this gives the following:
vPathComponents(0) = "Bam"
vPathComponents(1) = "uni30"
vPathComponents(2) = "index.asp"
So you can just use those array elements
varUSER = vPathComponent(0)
varUNI = vPathComponent(1)

Yes, thast is simple string manipulation,
and can be done, when you programme in asp-vbscript,
using instr(), left(), mid(), right(),
or, my preference, with Regex.
Or, if you like asp-jscript,
using the near equivalent functions,
or in even more consize regex.
Surely, you don't want to miss the joy of coding that yourself?

Hey thanks guys. You guys rock!!
I knew there was a way, but from being so sick, my mind isn't back to normal
yet.

so my code should look like something like this?
Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
vPathComponents = Split(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO"),"/")
playername = vPathComponent(0)
vuniverse = vPathComponent(1)
am i missing something?
never mind. with some tweaking i got it based on Daniel's post
thanks again to both of you!!
