I have a short script that reads a file and renders it a format that is print ready.

I have on slight problem.. Within the original asp script the area of display text uses a function to pull a random image from a bank of images.

when rendering in print version the function get displayed as text, which is viewable on screen.

Is there a way to run a piece of code from a text stream, i have run a google and nothing has really turned.

If I can't then I want to remove the random image completely, however because of the script delimiters the print page bombs out, when i try to replace it with nothing


below is the img tag that I would like to either render or strip out


<img src="<%= RandomImage("") %>" alt="Random Image" align="<%= random_leftright()%>" hspace="10" vspace="10">


cheers

Nick

<img src="<%= RandomImage("") %>" alt="Random Image" align="<%= random_leftright()%>" hspace="10" vspace="10">

must display as image, how are u loading the file? are u calling the txt file or writing it to a html file???

stripping it out can also be done using RegExp...

i am using a regular expression with fso to pull out the text between 2 defined limits.

the stripped out text is then displayed in html on screen and once printed will be closed. it is not writing to any files.

yes it renders the script as html as follows:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 7.0">
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../general.css">
<body>
<img src="images/crc_newhor_mono.gif">
<p><img src="<%= RandomImage("")	 %>" alt="Random Image" align="<%= random_leftright()%>" hspace="10" vspace="10">
some random text goes here</p>

if you can parse out the asp code seperately you could use execute() to run the inline code

Code: 
execute("response.write  RandomImage(" & chr(34) & chr(34) & ")")

should work I think.

ok.. I managed a work around by moving things around and not including the image in the print version of the web page.

thanks for all the help
