asp classic - Escape asp/vbscript script tags -

how escape asp directive output

so need print page string asp tags

<% response.write "<%=count%>" %>

but error

 microsoft vbscript compilation error '800a0409' unterminated string constant

so how print script tags?

so need <%=count%> not count

there way instead of ?

<%     response.write "<" & "%=count%" & ">" %>

you need make sure html encode before attempting use response.write() this;

here use html encoded value of % &#37 stop vbscript run-time spitting it's dummy (but can use < < , > > has been suggested).

<% response.write "<&#37=count&#37>" %>

outputs:

 <%=count%>
