how to capitalise all words in a string that are seperated by spaces. The string is variable and not the same every time hence I cant use the Ucase function as I wont know the exact position of the start of each word.
View RepliesLet's say I have the following var:
Code:
strTemp="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed"
and I am searching the string for another string 'amet', for example. How would I go about getting my page to output the word I search for and say 10 chars to the left and 10 to the right? So, in this case, I'd like to be be able to search the string with any
other string ['amet' for example] and have it output this:
Code:
...dolor sit amet, consecte...
I'm really at wits end on this as I'm not having much success with locating a function or other options I have. I'm working on a message board for a website and I'm needing to check the length of the words that users put in.
For example, when someone puts in "yesssssssssssss!", I put together a small function that omits all of the s's as this is wreaking havoc on the layout of tables within the site. But I don't have a solution if someone types in "ssss sasdfjskldjfaskld;jfaskdf" as random ambiguous letters.
I know I can check the length of the entire string but don't know to check the words
within it.
i have a search form that will only search the whole string when
searching a query. i would like to have the search string split into
separate words so that each word could be used as part of a single
query. is there a simple solution to my question ?
I need to parse a long string into no more than 30 character chunks, but I also need to leave the words intact. Right now, I am using:
For intStart = 1 to Len(strOriginal) by 30
strPrint = Mid$(strOriginal, intStart, 30)
Print #detailFile, Tab(1), intStart, Tab(4), strPrint
Next intStart
and it's fine, but splits up some of the words. If I could figure out how to find the preceding space of the 30 limit, I'd be in good shape.
let's say that I want to highlight some words or even a square of a table in yellow...how would i go about doing that? What code would work to do what I need?
View Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem in displaying a selected option from the drop down list in words. But after I selected an option, nothing is being displayed, I think the value can't be passed at all. Please let me know how to fix it.
<td align=center width=20%>Fruit:
<select name=""FruitName">

I have a database field that is a memo type. I would like to be able to only display the first 50 words from the database. I would like for it to show ..... after about 50 words.
I am using <%=Content %>. How do I trim this field to show only 50 words and then ....?
I tried the following code:
Function LengthTrim(input, length)
If Len(input) > length Then
Return Left(input, length) + "..."
Else
Return input
End If
End Function
then <%= LengthTrim(Content, 50) %>
But it would not work. I got the following error message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'Variable is undefined: 'Return' .
I have data where first and last name are in one field. I need help
how to i separate first and last name in ASP.

View Replies View RelatedI want to take a string like this:Code:
string = "THE RED GIGANTIC AND HUMONGOUS"
and retrieve only the words over a certain length or longer (let's say 5 characters), maintaining spaces between them- result:Code:
string = "GIGANTIC HUMONGOUS"
i am having trouble getting my REPLACE fn. to replace whole words only. basically, i'm running a 'spelling checker' fn. that uses the REPLACE fn. to find incorrect spellings and replace them. problem is, the fn. seems to replace all instances of a string, and not a whole word only as I intend it to be:
Code as follows:
StrInput = Request.Form("BKM_Search")
StrInput = LCase(StrInput) 'convert all to lowercase
StrInput = Trim(StrInput)'trim all empty space b4 & after string
StrCorrect = Replace(a_StrWrong, a_StrRight,1,1,1)
Let's say I want to replace the word "sea" with "ZZZ" only:
Example input: "Sean has some neat sea shells"
Example output: "ZZZn has some neat ZZZ shells"
I have to develop a spell checker from scratch using asp language. as i'm a newbie with asp, there are still a lot of things that i don't understand. How can I add new words to my list of dictionary sorted alpabetically?
Do i need to use the database for this function? Can anyone show me? or if anyone knows of any websites that i can refer to.
wondering if its possible to have some kind of searched word highlight! IE. every thing it throws up in return of search it will highlight why it has brought it up! so if search "a" all "a" in return results would be highlighted.
View Replies View Relatedis it possible (i heard u can replace) to filter out bad words using regexp? I'm using Replace() but it sucks without ALOT of extra code... but using regexp it seems better, with ignorecase, etc.
How would I do it? O, here's the way it is now:
<%= Decode(ChkBadWrds("Comment")))%>
How would I do something similar using regexp?
how can i count how many words have i written in a text
area?Like taking an example ... i am writing in this textarea
of microsoft usergroup. and say in total i have written 50
words .. how can find out this information?
I retrieved some data from the database and put it in a textbox but the words after the blank sapace cannot be shown, why is that?
Name = rs("requestor") 'where the name is "Sam Siew"
<TD><INPUT TYPE=TEXT Name=requestor size=12 Value=<%=Name%>></TD>
In the text box, it only show "Sam".
I would like to have a text box where people can type a word they want and then click on a button to get the description of that word.The way I see it working is if the word they entered in the box is in my database a page will display the meaning corresponding to the word in the database. However if it is not then it will display a message telling them that.

View Replies View RelatedJust wondering. I am developing a blog. I would like to display the message post on the blog to be limited to, say, 100 words rather than the whole message itself as this will increase the page length.

I have a search results page that lists a series of records with clickable links to view the records. When you click on the link to the record, the record id, the search terms used, and the search type (exactphrase or anywords) is sent through the query string.
On the record page I have been trying to find a regular expression that would find and replace the search terms with < strong >< /strong > to highlight them. I am struggling.
Does any use a similar regular expression. One that, if flagged, will replace an exact string (phrase) or loop through an array replacing any of the words in the string?

View Replies View RelatedI've noticed several posts where people were having trouble accessing an Access Database. In the vast majority of these cases, the problem was the use of a Reserved Word as a database field name. The following are links to KB Articles listing Reserved Words for Access 97 and Access 2002:
Access 97: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q109312/
Access 2002: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q286335/
If you are having trouble with a SQL Statement, and you are fairly certain there is nothing wrong with your statement, check your field names against this list. Using Reserved Words as field names, while not prohibited, is never a good idea.
For example, if you have a field where you want to put someone's name, "Name" is a Reserved Word. A better choice would be something like "UserName" or "PatientsName"; something that identifies the field but doesn't use a Reserved Word.
I have created a search engine for my project but i need to be able to exclude obvious words from being searched.
