ASP Type Property

The ASP Type Property is used to return the type of the particular file or folder. It returns the complete name of the type of file or folder.

Syntax:

• For File Object:

  FileObject.Type

• For Folder Object:

The below examples demonstrate the ASP Type Property.

dim fs,f
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Getting the file
set f=fs.GetFile("d:\GFG.txt")
Response.Write("The file GFG.txt is of type: ")

'Getting the type of the file
Response.Write(f.Type)

set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>

Output:

Example 2:

ASP

<%
dim fs,f
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Getting the type of the file
Response.Write(f.Type)

set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
