Cutting A Text String In Half Literally
I have a dynamically generated and FTP'd page that is sent to the server with a title of a song. Then when the user opens the page/site he or she will see the text in a marquee. What I want to do is create a IF Then Statement where it would look like the following:
I am getting a result like this: 'toh23'
and I want it to do either not show it or display and alternative text so...
<%
if (TEXTSTRING) = "toh" then response.write("News")
else
response.write("Normal Text")
end if
%>
I have the if then else down but I have no clue how to split the text between the 'toh' and the '23'. It will always be toh and then a number but the number changes. I know you can split strings with commas and such but how about numbers?

I have a form on asp page that pulls info from a DB when the page loads.
It them puts the info into text boxes on the page that are editable by the
user.
The only problem I have is say in the description text box it should
read "HP Laserjet 5Si" , it always cuts the text off where it just says "HP"
.. It does this on all the text boxes? I can't seem to figure out why it
is doing it. Here is the sample code:
With quotes around <%= vdesc%>
<td><input name="desc" type="text" id="desc" size="45" value="<%=
vdesc%>"></td>
And I tried it without.

a form field that should read the refer=querystring cuts off after the
toid=101. I assume that because I have
referpage=request.querystring("refer")
Is there any way to make it read the entier section after refer= and not stop and the variable?

I have the following code which I try to load an xml file, but in browser, I
only get text value for each node, not whole xml string. I expect to see
something like:
<name firstName="betty" lastName="Smith">I am at home</name>
But I only see text "I am at home"
did I do something wrong?
Set xmlDom=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
XMLDom.async =False
xmlDom.load Server.MapPath("0925SelectTest.xml")
DataToSend = "xmlValue="& xmlDom.xml
Response.Write DataToSend
Response.End

Let's say that I have the string below:
<title>Partly Cloudy and 73 degrees F at Pitt-Greenville Airport, NC</title>
In an ASP file, how would I get the three characters before the word "degrees"? In this particular case, it would be "73 ". Obviously, I'm trying to extract the degrees from this weather string (which is from the National Weather Service, in case anyone is wondering). If anybody knows a better way to get the degrees information from this string.
EDIT: Nevermind. I found that the National Weather Service also offers an XML version that has the degrees totally separated. (The one above is from an RSS feed rather than straight XML.) Having it in this form makes it much easier to parse.

I am trying to alter a text string to create a valid boolean query for
an index server search.
At the moment because the text string is created using combo boxes it
can have 2 or more 'AND's in succession.
Like This (strInput):
"Company AND Credit AND AND London AND AND Richmond Short Term AND AND
Intercompany AND Investment Bank AND Covertible AND AND "
what I want to do is change the above string to (strOutput2):
"Company AND Credit AND London AND Richmond AND Short Term AND
Intercompany AND Investment Bank AND Covertible"
I am trying to do it with the code below:
However this code produces problems as I loop through the various
search items.
It works fine in VB but fails when I try to port it to ASP. Code:

Three text fields on a PDF doc. These fields are limited - only 15 lines each.
Strings are separated by breaks and if a string is too long, it wraps to a new line, decreasing the number of items that can go into the field.
So, a for loop from 0 to 14 works only if a string in the array is not too long.
Then, and if and another for from 15 to Ubound -1
Another if and another for. Code:

I have built dynamic HTMLTable. Now I want to attach it directly to the Email Body - it is already built, so why not to use a ready table. However, I cannot find the way of getting plain HTML text out of dynamically built control. I tried to put my table between div and read div.innerHTML then - HTTP exception has been thrown.

i trying to randomize a string of text inc. number and alpha. e.g. 024053J
what is the approach to generate a few integer numbers from this string "024053J" ?
i tried to this way of randomize but not very efficient as in sometimes the user will get the same numbers back when the page is refresh.
So i thought to use a string of text to generate the randomize numbers.
randomize()
num_pmax=100
num_pmin=1
r2=Int((num_pmax-num_pmin+1)*rnd+num_pmin)

I'm developing an Asp.NET system to take a CSV file uploaded via the web, parse it, and insert the values into an SQL database. My sticking point comes when I try to split() the string returned by readline() on the file.
The following code snippet works for me:
tokens = "one,two,three,four".Split(",")
for each token in tokens
response.write("<td>"+token+"</td>")
next
However, if I take the next line in the CSV, read using StreamReader.ReadLine on the PostedFile.InputStream, I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which I have narrowed down to be my string holding the line. Further investigation reveals that no other string member functions work on my line (.ToCharArray, .ToString, etc).
I suspect that StreamReader.ReadLine is not correctly returning a string, even though Response.Write(line) displays what I would expect .....

When using ASP's FileSystemObject to create text files, I am unable to get user submitted text (in Hebrew) to save as anything other than "?????". The text file is being saved in Unicode and setting the CodePage in ASP proved unsuccessful. Strangely, hard coded Hebrew text in an ASP variable does add to the text file correctly.
Any ideas of why this happens and how to get it to work correctly?

I have text in a field coming from a database. The text has various
forms such as:
text1
text1 or text2
text1 or text2 or text3
text1; or text2
text1; or text2; or text3
etc...
how can I parse this with a reg ex? I tried this:
(.+);? or
but it only captures 1 submatch (text1) and only if theres an "or"
after it
I'd like to get 1 submatch for each piece of text separated by the
"or", just the text itself if there is no or.
Anyone know how to do it?

I am trying to search my access database for a string using LIKE and a wildcard.
Example:
Code:
Dim con
con = "SELECT names.* WHERE name LIKE 'sam*'"
For some reason this gives me no results even though I verified there is entries with the word sam in them.
Also tried using % instead of *. Also took out wildcard. I can search for an integer without a problem though, when I try a string, regardless if there's relevant entries I get nothing back at all.

I am using an SQL statment with a LIKE clause. I am trying to print the actual SQL statement on the screen. However I cannot print a '%' character on the screen. I tried using Chr code and just % outright.
Random variables:
name, rank
Code:
sSQL = "SELECT * from myTable WHERE myField LIKE '" & name & "%'"
It just prints on the screen: (assume name=joe)
"SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myField LIKE 'joe'"
