Replace Application Variable TEXT with Replace Function

[CrimsonDiva]

Hello,

I am trying to replace all occurrences of &quot;<%=Application(&quot;HtcRootSite&quot%>&quot; with &quot;/staging&quot; for a particular file.

This is the code I tried using (Vbscript/ASP):

str is a string reference to a file using an application variable.

str = Replace(str, &quot;<%=Application(&quot;&quot;HTCRootSite&quot;&quot%>&quot;, &quot;/staging&quot

This does not work because it's trying to read the ending delimeter &quot;%>&quot; instead of recognizing it as part of a string. I get the following error &quot;Unterminated string Constant&quot;.

Can someone please help!

My guess is that you are doing this server-side, so the correct syntax is...

str = Replace(str, Application(&quot;HTCRootSite&quot, &quot;/staging&quot Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

I think I see what your doing, you were reading the path from an application variable and now you want to change that to hardcoded, yes?
Try this:

str = Replace(str, &quot;<%=Application(&quot;&quot;HTCRootSite&quot;&quot;)%&quot; & &quot;>&quot;, &quot;/staging&quot;)

Technically legal but a little messy. Should do the trick
