Re: Re: HTML To ASP Converter

Well, I intended it for converting little bits of HTML that get stuck within an actual application. All the benchmarks I've seen show that having an all-ASP page using those long, ugly, concatenated Response.Writes are much faster than mixed HTML/ASP or one Response.Write for each line.

You're right about straight HTML being faster, though. Like I said, it's meant for bits and pieces (like a <head>) to put into an application. I've been using it mostly to convert tables for a calendar-type app that I hand-coded... I guess this script's purpose needs a little better explanation.

That's strange that it should benchmark that way. I've noticed that VBScript doesn't have anything like Perl's here-doc capability (unless I am missing something), it would be much nicer to be able to do this (I'll give you a PerlScript ASP example): `$Response->Write(<<SNIPPET); <HTML> <Head> <Title>$title</Title> </Head> <Body> SNIPPET` [download] This way, the HTML is left alone still. But that's PerlScript for you! - No hard feelings? $code or die `$ perldoc perldoc`	[reply] [d/l]

None at all. I'd love to move to using Perl for everything, but I've been using VBScript for so long now, that it comes easier to me. Besides, I'm not a "developer" per se, I just write stuff to make my life easier (like this script). I've only been hacking away at Perl for about a month now, and this is the first really non-experimental, usable script I've made, and I was kinda proud of it. -- More than perfect!

There is no here document but it's not that much of hassle to put script tags and use the = as a shortcut for Response.Write, i.e. `' ... ' asp code %> <html> <head> <title><%=title%></title> </head> <body> <% ' more ASP code ' ...` [download] Admittedly it's a few more characters than perl but not too painful. You can just have plain HTML text in your ASP document outside the script tags.	[reply] [d/l]
