Post your full question in the ASP part of the forum. I don't know enough about ASP to help you, but there are other in that part that should be able to assist you.

Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("testread.txt"), 1)
'f.Skip(4)

dim MyArray()
dim i
i = 0

do while f.AtEndOfStream = false
Redim Preserve MyArray(i)
MyArray(i) = f.ReadLine
i = i + 1
loop

f.Close
Set f=Nothing
Set fs=Nothing

ShowArrayInTable(MyArray)

Sub ShowArrayInTable(ArrayToShow)

Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"

Dim I
Response.Write "<table border=""1"">" & vbCrLf

For I = 0 To UBound(ArrayToShow)
Response.Write "<tr>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<td>" & I & "</td>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<td>" & replace( ArrayToShow(I), "<", "<") & "</td>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "</tr>" & vbCrLf
Next

Response.Write "</table>" & vbCrLf

Hi, it works almost good.
The Worksheet only has data when a have a browser of this ASP and a run a Second instance
of the same browser of this ASP.

Is it normal?
What is this?
Response.Write "<td>" & replace( ArrayToShow(I), "<", "<") & "</td>" & vbCrLf

I don't understand the question, you can write it in portuguese if you'd like (I think that was the language in your code)

Response.Write "<td>" & replace( ArrayToShow(I), "<", "<") & "</td>" & vbCrLf is just a way of preventing any HTML code in the testread.txt from being formatted by the browser. You don't have to use it if there's no html code

Ok

Apenas se eu executar duas vezes esta ASP é que o Excel fica preenchido.
A primeira vez que eu executo a ASP mostra um excel vazio e sem dados.
Somente na segunda vez e deixando o outro a aberto é que os dados lá aparecem.

this is not normal

I noticed that you had <html> before your ASP code.
You should place ALL of this asp code at the top of the page.

you could even just use this code:

<%
Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"

Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("testread.txt"), 1)

dim i
i = 0

Response.Write "<table border=""1"">" & vbCrLf

do while f.AtEndOfStream = false
Response.Write "<tr>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<td>" & i & "</td>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<td>" & f.ReadLine & "</td>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "</tr>" & vbCrLf
i = i + 1
loop

Response.Write "</table>" & vbCrLf

f.Close
Set f=Nothing
Set fs=Nothing

%>

use ONLY this code in an .asp page, and see if it works (NO OTHER CODE!!)
then go from there
