Left And Instr Functions
I am having a problem with the following code:
<%
If Len(TestRS.Fields.Item("Testimonial").value) > 150 Then
Response.Write(Left(TestRS.Fields.Item("Testimonial").Value,150)&""... <br><font size=1><a href=""/Testimonials.asp"">Read More</a></font>")
Else
Response.Write(TestRS.Fields.Item("Testimonial").Value)
End If
%>
I am getting a null response from TestRS.Fields.Item("Tesimonial").Value after it is processed by the Len function.
I am getting the following result: Quote: "... Read More This tells me that the len function is analysing the string to be greater than 150 charachters yet the string is not being expressed.

Why does this code Code:
Dim mytext
mytext = "Tristique, sed tamen typicus amet, bene quia feugait eu. "
Response.Write Instr(mytext, "tamen")
Gives the response "16"? Surely this word only appears once? Is it counting letters? How can I make it identify just words?

I am searching a string that look like this (21,5,15,25) using Instr().
So, if I am searching for '5', I get everything that contains a five.
If InStr("21,5,15,25", req,QuerStr("id") Then
response.write "yes"
End If
I want only the one value '5' to get found but anything that contains a 5 is found. I have tried using Cint and Int to no avail.

I have a field name "tracks" of string data type that has multiple names in it (for example: calder delaware$ aqueduct ), and I want to check to see if this certain field has "delaware$" in it. InStr or the Mid functions return the numerical order of where that string starts inside the string, but it doesnt tell me if "delaware$" exists in "tracks".

Which is better practice?
Code:
Select * From groups Where groupName LIKE '%bli%' AND cusType LIKE 'CUST%'
or
Code:
Select * From groups Where InStr(groupName,'li')>0 AND InStr(cusType,'CUST')=1
Right now I'm using and Access database but plan to upsize to a MSSQL if that makes any difference. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either technique?

I've been given a large database of "model numbers". based on these model number I have to do something different. example model numbers:
B2020-SG1
B2020-SG4440
B2020-LG3
B2020-LG33E
B2020-SG1-SG1
B2020-SG1TD9-SG1
B2020-SG1TD15-SG4440
Basically, the first number (B2020, which could be a number of different numbers) is the model. the second and/or third number is what I have to act on. The problem is, how do I pull that third number? Especially if its the same as the first number. right now I'm using Instr(variable1, "SG1") to pull each different set of numebrs. but that only finds the first occurence. what about the 2nd? how can I find that?

I'm doing some text manipulation and I'm getting a strange error. My code is:
[vbs]
modT = trim(left(CommandArray(x), inStr(CommandArray(x), "-") - 1))
[/vbs]
CommandArray is an array created by a split() statement (so it contains strings). It's content at the time if execution (if I response.write it) is "Policies -name:Board -public:yes". What I the line above to do is return "Policies". All the math should work out, but I get this error:
Code:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0005)
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'left'
buildLinks.inc, line 10
Line 10 is the line pasted above.

I'm having some trouble with an error that is thrown when I use InStr() and Mid() with a database search query. In point form:
I am retrieving an array strings from my database where the query is case insensitive. This is good.
Then I locate the keyword in the string using InStr() which is case sensitive. This is not desireable as it doesn't recognize all instances of the keyword.
I use the Mid() function to give me a portion of the string starting at the location provided by InStr() which is sometimes the number zero which in turn throws the error.

I am working with two databases. One is dockets which holds all kinds of information about upcoming legal hearings. The second one is additional parties which holds additional records related to the dockets data table.
Not all dockets have additional parties so when I need to display information about a case I may or may not need records from there so I am using a left outer join.
It works perfectly EXCEPT for one small matter. The field that I am joining on (petitionCaseNumber) is turning up empty after the join.
Below is the join.
varSQL = "SELECT * FROM Dockets LEFT OUTER JOIN additionalParties ON Dockets.petitionCaseNumber = additionalParties.petitionCaseNumber WHERE dockets.petitionCaseNumber = '" & numberIn &"'"
When I say something like response.write rst("petitionCaseNumber") I get nothing if I say response.write rst("dockets.petitionCaseNumber") I get an error.
How do I refer to this field or how do I get this field to contain the case number?

I have several checkboxes named in the following format:
chktable_city~20
chktable_state~WI
chktable_zipcode~12312
I need to be able to pull the table names and values from each checkbox name (for example, I would need to pull the "table_city" and "20" from the checkbox above).
In short, how do I pull out the table_city and 20 from the first example. Since the table names and values vary in size, I can't just do a regular mid, left, right function.

Many a page has ADO Connection objects that were opened but never closed. The Connection object allocates its own resources when it is opened. When the object goes out of scope without being explicitly closed, the resources ASP allocated for it are freed, but the resources it allocated on its own are not. These eventually clutter up the server and slow it down to a crawl.
My question is, is there a way to track down these orphaned resources and forcibly free them from ASP, without restarting IIS or the server? Or does one have to wait for the unused Connections to time out and release themselves? I know that good coding practice is best, but is there a temporary fix to tidy up these connections left open?

When a student taking a quiz having a duration of 2 hrs, a timer will start and keep track the time.
So if he logout or close the window, the remaining time should be recorded into the database. And when he take the same quiz again, the timer will not restart but continue from the previous time.
E.g i take a quiz having a duration of 60mins, and when i logout the time duration remain is 30mins. And when i logon and take the quiz again, the timer countdown from there 30mins but not begining of 60mins.

I am currently having a problem with one of my ASP pages; Currently, in the SELECT, I am using JOIN LEFT functions which work fine (see the code below). However, I have now created a new table which I have successfully linked to the other tables.
However, I am not sure how I would word the JOIN LEFT statement for the new table.
The new table is located at Report.Report I have tried to have a go, but am I missing something? I always get an error message saying, Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14' [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in JOIN operation. Code:

I have a dynamic driven web page which get's a select value from the menu choice.
I querry the database recordset and pull back the correct values.
I want to display them in a grid fashion. I want to limit how many items per page are show in each grid and then I'll use the standard DW behaviors to move to next page, etc.
The challenge I have is making the repeat region go left to right instead of repeating down.

I can send email using C# and SMTP, but keep closing the connection before
the .eml file has left the Queue folder. The length of time the .eml file
stays in the Queue folder is dependent on the size of that file; big or many
attachments increases the time.
If I start an internet connection, issue the smtp mail send and then close
the connection in my C# program, I need to wait until the .eml file has left
the Queue folder. Otherwise, prematurely closing the internet connection
causing IIS to abort the send.
How can I detect that the .eml file has left the Queue folder?

I am using a Relational database for my site and i have the following tables:
FIXTURES, GAMEDATES
the fields in FIXTURES are:
GameDate
Home
Away
(All of the above are numerical fields)
the fields in GAMEDATES are:
DateID(integer)
GameDate(#Date Field#)
What i have done is in the GAMEDATE field in the FIXTURES table i have used the ID number of the date that i wish to assign to that record - using a LEFT JOIN to display the actual date that is pulled from the GAMEDATES table (That which corresponds to the relevant id used in Fixtures)
The problem is that in some of my code i want to display records using sql and sometimes in the where clause i use the following:
WHERE Fixtures.GameDate<=(Date())
obviously meaning WHERE GAMEDATE is LESS THAN or EQUAL to TODAY.
The thing is when i use the join it does not use the where clause and displays all of the records in the FIXTURES table.
Does any one know how to get around this, i have not received any error messages it just isnt displaying the right data
