I am having a problem reading a .txt file off a web page using Microsoft's XMLHTTP method. After reading the the page into a variable called strContents I would like to write the data to a file.

I have the following code but seem to get an error in writing the strContents to a file. When i write a "string" it works fine.

Any suggestions?

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<% 
Dim fsoObject                   'File System Object
Dim tsObject                    'Text Stream Object
Dim strContents
 
 ' Introduce the url you want to visit 
GotothisURL = "[URL]http://kerrdental.com/inc/data/form_files/kerrdental/warranty.txt[/URL]"  
 ' Create the xml object 
 Set GetConnection = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") 
 ' Conect to specified URL 
 GetConnection.Open "get", GotothisURL, False 
 GetConnection.Send  
 ' ResponsePage is the response we will get when visiting GotothisURL 
 ResponsePage = GetConnection.responseText 
 strContents = ResponsePage 
' We will write to the page (this works).
 Response.write (strContents) 
 
 Set fsoObject = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 Set tsObject = fsoObject.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath("myNewText.txt"))
' tsObject.write ("This is a test")
 tsObject.write (strContents)
' tsObject.Write (ResponsePage)
 
Set fsoObject = Nothing
Set tsObject = Nothing
Set filObject = Nothing
Set GetConnection = Nothing 
 %>
<p>Testing Writing file.</p>
 
</body>
</html>

 tsObject.write (strContents)
