Creating Text File - how to write %> ??

Hi all,

I'm trying to create an .asp file from an ASP...

A small example could be like this...

<%
strConfigData = "<%"
strConfigData = strConfigData & " Response.Write ""Hi there"""
strConfigData = strConfigData & "%>"
%>

Now - the first 2 lines appear to be ok - however the 3rd line, where we
have the %> my editor looks to be closing the ASP tags for the code
above....

Has anyone else run into this problem? It seems familiar to me, I think I
came across this once before - and I *think* I resolved it by doing this for
the last line :

strConfigData = strConfigData & "% >"

(ie, placing a space between them - but thats not a good enough answer!
o) )

Thanks for any help,

Regards

Rob

Try using the ascii codes for the % sign.
