Write Data to Binary File

[Prabhat]

Hi Friends,

I have one EXE file that customer need to download from my website. But I
have one text file of Max 250 bytes of text in in that I want to append to
the END of the Binary EXE file and give that for download to user. How can I
do that. Please suggest. I think we need to go for some BinaryWrite kind of
procedure using ADO Stream.

Please suggest
Prabhat

You could possibly use the document footer feature -

No. I want to append some Text (Content of some small text file having 2
lines: Ex: "MyText.txt ") in one of the EXE file (Binary File) Ex:
"MyApplication. exe" using ASP, in webserver. How can I do that?

Re: Write Data to Binary File

Your choices:
1. Have IIS download the EXE file as a static file, and configure Footer for
that file only
2. Have an ASP page which reads the EXE file and BinaryWrite's the text file

Of course, you can do whatever you want. If you insist on writing ASP code,
go right ahead; most people prefer the Static File and Footer approach
because it's just configuration - no code necessary.

Aren't you corrupting the EXE by appending the text?

Hi David,

Thanks for your suggestion. I did not know abt the Footer one. How can I do
that in IIS 5.0 on windows 2000 Serv? Can we set the Footer only for one EXE
? Can you help me in that?

Thanks
Prabhat

Re: Write Data to Binary File

This sounds like a one-off case, so just create a vdir which points to that
..EXE and set the vdir to append Footers to all resources within it.

Hi Thanks for your suggestion. But I have wrote code (in VB DLL) that will
take path fore Source Text File and Source Binary File and Append the Text
to the Binary File at END. I understand that I am modifying a Binary File -
But I know that I am not currupting it.

Thanks for your help
