I have an ASP page and I want to populate a dropdown list from a comma delimited text file. Please post a sample how to do that if you have one?

Hi Robert,

Open the text file, read the line with the values into a variable in your ASP page. The use the VBScript Split function to split the list into array, and then just loop through the array and add the options to your dropdown.




Cheers,
