how to get the absolute path from within an asp page?

[laredotornado]

Hello,

Fairly new to ASP, but if I'm programming in the file

<web root>\myapp\mypage.asp

How would I print out "\myapp\" without hard-coding the value of
"\myapp\"?

Thanks, - Dave

In asp and html, urls are written with a /, no a \

<%=Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")%>

will write: /myapp/mypage.asp


<%
pathInfo = Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
lastSlashPos = InStrRev(pathInfo , "/")
response.write left(pathInfo,lastSlashPos)
%>

This should write: /myapp/

You can use this code:

pathInfo = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
MYPATH = left(pathInfo,InStrRev(pathInfo , "/"))
