Re: Re: Re: HTML To ASP Converter

That's strange that it should benchmark that way. I've noticed that VBScript doesn't have anything like Perl's here-doc capability (unless I am missing something), it would be much nicer to be able to do this (I'll give you a PerlScript ASP example):

$Response->Write(<<SNIPPET);

<HTML>
  <Head>
    <Title>$title</Title>
  </Head>
  <Body>
SNIPPET
[download]

This way, the HTML is left alone still. But that's PerlScript for you! - No hard feelings?
$code or die
$ perldoc perldoc

There is no here document but it's not that much of hassle to put script tags and use the = as a shortcut for Response.Write, i.e. `' ... ' asp code %> <html> <head> <title><%=title%></title> </head> <body> <% ' more ASP code ' ...` [download] Admittedly it's a few more characters than perl but not too painful. You can just have plain HTML text in your ASP document outside the script tags.	[reply] [d/l]

None at all. I'd love to move to using Perl for everything, but I've been using VBScript for so long now, that it comes easier to me. Besides, I'm not a "developer" per se, I just write stuff to make my life easier (like this script). I've only been hacking away at Perl for about a month now, and this is the first really non-experimental, usable script I've made, and I was kinda proud of it. -- More than perfect!
