Find And Replace "*" In .mdb
A new client gave me a .prn file to convert to an Access .mdb file for use on his site. Don't ask why, but he insists this is how he delivered updates to his previous source. The conversion was mostly successful, but I ended up with a lot of stray asterisks (*) mixed in with the text in a lot of the records.
I tried to do a simple find and replace, but the * character is, of course, a wildcard character. When I tried to search for it, Access returned everything as a result. There's thousands of records, so obviously I don't want to do this by hand.
Even coding an .asp page to update the records seems like more work than this problem warrants. I'll probably export to a .txt file and do a find and replace there and then re-import, but I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem. Is there an easy way to search for (and replace) the asterisk character in an Access file?

I am not sure if this is a question for this forum or the IIS forum but here goes. I have a dedicated server on which I am hosting about 80 websites at the moment, all of which have been created by copying a template site. All of these sites have an identical structure and are located in the same directory on the server, C:Inetpubvhosts. Several times when I have needed to make an adjustment to the sites I have to go into the remote desktop connection to the server and go site by site, copying and pasting files. For example, as each site has the same pages, ie., map.asp, sometimes I make a change to that page and have to copy it to every site. Could I write some sort of script using the FSO and execute it from one site and have it loop through each site on the server making the neccessary change(s)?

I'm working on something at the moment which pulls through a url to another page if it exists. I've got that bit working.
The bit I don't know how to do (real asp beginner here) is to check if the url has http:// in it, and if it has, remove it.

currently i'm working on a template-system. variables can be used in the form of {variable} and there even are some functions available like: [if(condition, statement-if-true, statement-if-false)]
this all relies on regular expressions. to find and replace the variables i use the following snippet:
set reo = new regexp
with reo
.pattern = "{.*}"
.ignorecase = true
.global = true
end with

I am new to reg expressions and would like to write a regex for a .html page I am working. I want the regex to find every http link (<a href= ) that contains .org. Once it finds every link that contains .org I want to then remove ( exit.asp?url= ) that precedes it as well as add the attribute ( target="_blank" ) to the (<a href=) tag.
This basically will find all instances where I am calling my .asp page that lets the user know they are exiting the main site for an outside source and eliminate this page as long as the link they are clicking is within the original site. Otherwise I call my exit.asp page which notifies the user they are leaving.
Example:
Look for this type of tag (one where the link contains .org):
<a href="exit.asp?url=http://myorgwebsite.org/myorg"> Link 1</a>
Replace with this (removes the "exit.asp?url=", but adds target="_blank" attribute):
<a href="http://myorgwebsite.org/myorg" target="_blank"> Link 1</a>

If I replace "a" with "b", and then I replace "b" with "a", shouldn't I get the same result? That is what I am trying to encode and decode with Replace() function, but it is giving me different things when I replace and replace again. Here is what I am talking about: Code:

I am trying to locate a file using the following code
Set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
strURL = "http://server/ApprovedAutoCAD/140-00007-01.dwg"
objXMLHTTP.Open "GET", strURL, False, "login", "password"
objXMLHTTP.Send
strReturn = objXMLHTTP.status
I get a 404 status back indicating that the file is not found, which is incorrect. I am able to locate XLS and DOC files on the same directory. Any ideas why I cannot find a DWG (Drawing) file?

At first glance, the question in the subject line seems way too easy. But I
am finding some situations in my app where the value in a variable is some
sort of blank-like value, such as Null or " " or "", but I cannot tell
which.
Of course, in order to find out the value, I did a response.write, and added
a nonsense word afterward, to help make sure it is writing it out for me.
First, I tried to check for null: Code:

I want to know how to find out who is sending visitors to my site. So i obviusly need to find out who a visitors referer is.
I took a guess and thought that this is what I should use:
request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
But that does not return anything. Any ideas guys?

Based on what the user selects in a combo box I need to find the value from another column in the same record. This is what I am using:
rsPrice.movefirst
rsPrice.Find "Component='Desktop'"
If (rstPrice.BOF = True) or (rstPrice.EOF = True) Then
response.write("The Price for the Component Not Found")
else
curPrice =rsPrice("Score")
End If
I keep getting an error messages:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E29) Rowset does not support scrolling backward.

I'm coding in classic asp and can't figure how to get IE6 to display some kind of descriptive message about code errors? I have the correct settings under ADVANCED in IE's options selected.
What bugs me is sometimes IE will report the line number and a message, and then other times it's the standard "The page can't be displayed." When you have hundreds of lines of code, how can you fight this?

I am attempting the following for a real estate website. I want to list the agents for the office all of whom have a unique identifier with an Auto Number type. As I loop through the recordset, I also want to open another table called listings. This table has a field called agent whose value is a number and corresponds to an agent in the agent table.
If there is a listing in the listing table, I want to insert a link to "View Listings", if not, no link. I am having a hard time doing this and if someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I tried the Find method but to no success.

I want to find numbers in one comma seperated string which are not in another one. For instance if I have two strings "strString1" and "strString2 how can I find numbers in "strString1" which are not in "strString2" Example:
strString1 = "1,3,6,12"
strString2 = "1,6"
In this case the numbers I want to end up with are 3 and 12.

I am wondering if there is a command to determine what the current directory is.
My reason for this is that i have a include file called connection.asp sat in a folder called Data. My connection.asp file holds the connection details. I need to determine whether the file calling the include is in the root folder or not.
EG. if it is the root folder the location of the db will be "Data/dbMarkShop.mdb" but if it is another folder, say a Scripts folder, the location of th db would be "../Data/dbMarkShop.mdb"

I'm looking for images in my asp page.
I know the path and first and last part of the filename.
Example filename: A01-30420.jpg
I have the A01- and the .jpeg. The ##### portion could be anything, but always numeric (sofar).
The A01 is unique, i.e. there will only be one file of A01-#####.jpg
I'm using fileExists object to confirm a file exists when I have the full filename but havn't been able to figure out how to get the full filename when I only have a partial.
I could rename the files, i.e. drop the -##### but I'd have to do that everytime I get new ones so I'd like to work with the original filename if at all possible.

throughout the day with peoples information, who don't want the catalog!
