Converting/stripping Non-ASCII Characters
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.

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 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 have these strings which are pulled from a database which contains both

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 know there is a way of stripping out special characters from a string however I need a way of stripping out "" marks from a string or what i really want is to replace all double ("") marks in a string with single ('') marks before inserting the string into a database. Is there a way of doing this in ASP?

I'm trying to strip out none alphanumeric characters (and a couple of punctuation marks) from a string before inserting into a database.
I've put in my code below, basically I thought I'd loop through each character in turn and pass it through a regular expression to check its validity. If it passes I'll add it to a global variable ('validString') if it fails I'll remove it.
But I can't get my Mid() function to accept 'i' as a value so it won't loop. Code:

individually?

I have an asp page that reads the contents of a database and creates an xml news feed. I have code that strips out the <BR> and <P></P> tags, but it looks one of the databases I'm trying to read from uses only <P> without the closing tag.
So the make a long story short, I can't figure out what to add to my code to strip out these tags (or if that isn't the problem at all!) Code:
