Server MapPath Issue

Patrick Chua · #1 (**permalink**) 01-26-04, 00:12

I wrote this in my asp page:

response.Write Server.MapPath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO" ))

I got this:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testupload\test1.asp

I want only until:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testupload\

I tried this:
response.Write Server.MapPath("/")

but got this instead:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot

So can anybody help?

Okay...I'll answer my own question...

Code:

Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
p=fs.GetParentFolderName(Server.MapPath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")))

Response.Write("The parent folder name is: " & p)

set fs=nothing

And here are some other somewhat similar cool things you can do:

<%
'!!!
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with . : " & Server.MapPath(".") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with .. : " & Server.MapPath("..") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with ../logs : " & Server.MapPath("../logs") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with / : " & Server.MapPath("/") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with /. : " & Server.MapPath("/.") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with /.. : " & Server.MapPath("/..") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with /../ : " & Server.MapPath("/../") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with /../.. : " & Server.MapPath("/../..") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with /../../ : " & Server.MapPath("/../../") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with /../www : " & Server.MapPath("/../www") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with /../logs : " & Server.MapPath("/../logs") & " "
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with /../hi : " & Server.MapPath("/../hi") & " "
