I need to replace all non US-ASCII characters. What is the easiest way to do this?
sample code would be great.
"The PayPal website only accepts US-ASCII and 7 non-ASCII German characters. The 7 characters are ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü, and ß."
I have these strings which are pulled from a database which contains both english and chinese characters(big5).
e.g....
I am doing a reskin of an ASP site, MS SQL in the back end. I made a copy of the site and DB and am using them as my development site. Fine so far, but here's where it gets wierd. I am getting random ASCII characters throughout my text, not totaly random, for example a double quote will come back as ’. So they're consistant. This is both for data in a file, and data from the DB, but I'm fairly certain all of it is qwritten with Response.Write.
These two sites are in identical environments, on the same server, using the same DB (well a copy of one anyway)
I'm familiar with using the split function, but i've never had to do it on an ascii character before.
I am given a datastring that looks something like this:
Code: ....
I use ASP, but i dont think it matters. I am parsing large text files. some of them have non standard characters. I just want to parse a file and replace anything that is not found on a keyboard in usa. I just want to keep:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, .,?'"!@#$%^&*()-_=+";:<>/|}{[]`~
everything else i want to remove (asian letters, wacky characters, etc)
I am trying to display records ( text and images) from a database. I get the text displayed but the image is displayed as a large series of Asscii text.
Connect.open "DSN=Rentals"
'declare sql statement that will query the database
query = "Select * FROM RentalTable WHERE Location LIKE '%"
query = query & Replace(request("varLocation"), "'", "''") & "%'"
query = query & " AND PropertyType = '" & Replace(request("varPropertyType"), "'", "''")
query = query & "' ORDER BY DateAvailable"
RS.Open query, Connect
do until RS.EOF
%>
<table width="75%" border="1">
<tr>
<td><%=RS("Address")%></td>
<td><%=RS("Location")%></td>
<td <%
Response.ContentType = "image/gif"
Response.BinaryWrite(rs("Image1")) %>
</td>
</tr>
</table>........
I have these strings which are pulled from a database which contains both
english and chinese characters(big5).
e.g.
Fragrant Rice 10kg Green Dragon?
Broken Rice 10kg G.Elephant?
I want to split the string at the first occurance of the non ascii character so that i can get the english and chinese parts separated.
I'm trying to catch some characters in a string before they are entered into a database that are not ASCII and convert them to ASCII characters. The characters in question are the angular double quotes but this could be associated with similar occurences. I want to check for left angular double quotes [“] or right angular double quotes [“] and replace them with straight double quotes ["].
(I'm not actually storing the HTML equivalents - they are simply there to give you an idea of which characters I'm on about.)a way of catching these buggers? I've tried using chr(8220) (the numeric code for one of the illegal characters apparently) but ASP has a problem working with numbers outside the character map.
Am trying to restrict user from entering non ASCII character in the text area. Say if the user entered non ASCII character then on the form post back it should show them the message like:
"non ASCII character between the word1+word2"
