Thanks for your code for example.

You have some example for receive data into ASP page sent by a form with POST system from AngularJS?

For example:

test.html for the client side:
...

    <form ng-submit = "vm.enviar ()">
     Name: <input type = "text" ng-model = "vm.fdatos.nombre">
     <br>
     Age: <input type = "text" ng-model = "vm.fdatos.edad">
     <br>
     <input type = "submit" value = "Submit">
    </ form>

...

controladorPrincipal function ($ http) {
var vm = this;
vm.fdatos = {};

 vm.enviar = function () {

   $ http.post ("http://www.xxxxx.net/recibir.asp" vm.fdatos)
     .success (function (res) {
       console.log (res);
     });
 }

}

Is there a way to filter the response using grep?

Nice script, just what i am seeking.
I am trying to set it up for working with a json-data string a littel bit diffrent in format from this exsample. But without luck.

The format I have is like this:
{"Data":[{"DeviceName":"enhed1","DeviceID":"12345","Date":"2016-01-04T23:45:57+01:00","Latitude":56.45633,"Longitude":9.34502,"Type":"GPS","Speed(mph)":0,"Speed(km/h)":0,"Altitude(ft)":223,"Altitude(m)":68,"Accuracy":6}]}

In page.asp have i change the url for the data in line 57.
In line 62 have I tried to change "myJSON.test" to "myJSON.Data" but i gives me "[object Object]" in output. If i try to change it for exsample "myJSON.DeviceID" I get a error about not supportet (VBScript-kørselsfejl fejl '800a01b6' - line 62)
I guess its the format of the other data there is the problem, but i can figure out how to changes it... Can somone help me?

Soeren from Denmark
