Include some file, if not found than include other?

**Error404** · 06-17-2009, 02:39 PM

Hi, I'm very new to ASP...

So I have this code on my page

Code:

<!--#include file="somefile.txt"-->

which will show textual content of somefile.txt

Now what I want is that if somefile.txt is not found on server, I wan't the content of another textual file to be shown (someotherfile.txt)

so I need something like

Code:

<!--#include file="somefile.txt"-->
if file not found then
<!--#include file="someotherfile.txt"-->

Of course this is not correct code, so that is where I need your help... How do I write this code in ASP?

Thanks...

I know that your not coding in PHP but maybe this would help.

PHP Code:


			
<?php
   if ($include("somefile.php") == 0) {
        $incllude("theOtherFile.php");
   }
?>
