ASP.NET - How to open a text file situated at server

Hi 

I have one text file in server. I need to open .doc or .txt file Please Suggest me if you  have any ideas. I am using ..

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(“PATH”);

  Thanks

Hi,

It does not matter whether file is situated locally or on remote server. If you have permission to access that you can access it easily.

For example remote path is : \\192.168.10.10\C:\somefiles\1.txt

Now you have to remove : and use $

So use this

String newpath=path.Replace(':', '$');

And you can now read file using stream reader object easily. or you can start will process object also.

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(newpath, Encoding.Default);

The solution is for txt file not for doc. I hope this will help you.

public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	//Open a file for reading
	string FILENAME = Server.MapPath("Rand.txt");
	//Get a StreamReader class that can be used to read the file
	StreamReader objStreamReader = default(StreamReader);
	objStreamReader = File.OpenText(FILENAME);
	//Now, read the entire file into a string
	string contents = objStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
	//Set the text of the file to a Web control
	lblRawOutput.Text = contents;
	//We may wish to replace carraige returns with <br>s
	lblNicerOutput.Text = contents.Replace(Constants.vbCrLf, "<br>");
	objStreamReader.Close();
}
</script>

<b>Raw File Output</b><br />
<asp:label runat="server" id="lblRawOutput" />
<p>
<b>Nicer Output</b><br />
<asp:label runat="server" id="lblNicerOutput" Font-Name="Verdana" />








hope it helps you...
