Trouble with cgi.FieldStorage() on iis/asp

[DeepBlue]

To find the name of the file (if I understand you correctly) check out the
following from the cgi file upload script by Tim Middleton:
Say you have the following form:

<form action="%s" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Name of File 1: <input name="file.1" type="file" size="35">
<BR>
Name of File 2: <input name="file.2" type="file" size="35">
<BR>
Name of File 3: <input name="file.3" type="file" size="35">
<BR>
Name of File 4: <input name="file.4" type="file" size="35">
<BR>
Name of File 5: <input name="file.5" type="file" size="35">
<BR>
Name of File 6: <input name="file.6" type="file" size="35">
(rest of form etc.........)

    import string etc......
    data = cgi.FieldStorage()
    f = 1
    while f:
        key = "file.%s" % f
        if data.has_key(key):
            fn = data[key].filename
            if not fn:
                f = f + 1
                continue
            if string.rfind(data[key].filename,"\\") >= 0:
                fn = fn[string.rfind(data[key].filename,"\\"):]
            if string.rfind(data[key].filename,"/") >= 0:
                fn = fn[string.rfind(data[key].filename,"/"):]
            if string.rfind(data[key].filename,":") >= 0:
                fn = fn[string.rfind(data[key].filename,":"):]

            o = open(dirUpload+os.sep+fn,"wb")
            o.write(data[key].value)
            o.close()

            fnList.append(fn)
            kbList.append(len(data[key].value))
            kbCount = kbCount + len(data[key].value)
            f = f + 1
        else:
            f = 0

This works flawlessly with me, and file is found with no problems.
Hope this helps.
