Webserver Lua Code Problem

[harleydude]

I have the following code in a .lhtml file. The LogFile variable is actually assigned a file name passed in thru webserver:GetCGI(). I have it hard coded for testing this issue.

<table width="70%" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
        <td class="securitylog">
            <%
            local LogFile = "WebAccess "..os.date("%Y-%m-%d")..".Log"
            local ConfigFile = win.GetDirectory('GIRDERDIR').."\\UserData\\WebAccess\\"
            webserver:print (ConfigFile..LogFile)
            %>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

When I access the page the actual lua code is displayed on the screen instead of just printing the ConfigFile..LogFile. I believe the problem is the last \\ on the win.GetDirectory line. If I remove the \\ then the page displays however the file path/name is not usable for retreiving the contents of the file. Bug or am I doing something wrong? Same problem on versions 4.0.5.1 & 4.0.5.2.

I think I know what that is. The parser gets confused by the \\" .

            <%
            local LogFile = "WebAccess "..os.date("%Y-%m-%d")..".Log"
            local ConfigFile = win.GetDirectory('GIRDERDIR').."/UserData/WebAccess/"
            webserver:print (ConfigFile..LogFile)
            %>

NOt in front of my development machine at the moment. How will that affect the file io routines? Will C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder/UserData/WebAccess/WebAccess 2006-09-20.Log be a valid path?

should work just fine.

Ok, I will give it a try tonight.
