Any way to read text files without using FileSystemObject in ASP?

I'm using a free webhost that has disallowed access to the FSO, which is
making my life that much harder. I want to be able to read in text
files, but I don't know of any way except using the FSO. [bangs head
against wall] Help? Please?

Hi,

How about a Jave/JavaScript solution? url is the path/filename of the
text file.


var fileStream = new java.net.URL(url);
var textFile = new java.io.DataInputStream(fileStream.openStream());

while((line = textFile.readLine()) != null)
{
if(line != "" && line.substring(0, 1) != "'")
{
// If line is not a comment process data here;
}
}
textFile.close();


Hope this helps,

CEF

Javascript? Perl? Whatever works with your "free" server?

I want access to it at the server, not at the client. The server only
has ASP - Perl would be great if they were willing to install it, but
I'm not holding my breath.
