Parsing A String Of Text
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 have a string problem that I would like to resolve. I am submittting multiple values to a form that is posted to query string. The string looks like this:
http://localhost/csiapp/test.asp?Submit=Submit&menu2=436%A0AbdallahFadi&menu2=430%A0AdkinsAngela&menu2=425%A0AleemAmina
So what I need to do is to take the id number of the user and put it into an array so I can later insert it into the database. So for the example above, I need an list that looks like this:
436, 430, 425
Once I have this list I can make it an array and then put it into the database.
My question is how do I make the string above look like the string below? I know that I need to use some function of asp to parse the name oout of the string, but i just don't know exactly what....

I have a text file that I want to read and parse lines into seperate strings. For example...read in the text file below:
ARN0480633020025000
ARN0480680020388240
ARN0480686020030000
ARN0480770020030000
ARN0480792020050300
then parse the first 12 characters into strAccountNumber field then parse the remaining 7 characters in to strBalance.Ultimately, I want a user to enter an account# and it will lookup the account balance.

I need some help with parsing a string and returning all the urls in the string.
I posted a thread online a little while ago but the solution didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? I have a string called "HTML" and i need a script to parse it for links. I'm fairly new to asp so any comments in the script you could give me.

If I had a string that look like this:
JOHNDOE|12,45,67,89|
EMILY|12,34,56|
SAWYER||
How do I parse the string in getting the names out first i.e JOHNDOE?
How do I then get the numbers out separately if they do exists? i.e. 12
45
I am thinking it is in a loop with instr or split function. I can see how I can get the numbers out first but with | and , at the same time - not sure.

This is the output of a default-function of our CMS-system
<img title="certification-home page-main background.jpg" style="WIDTH: 550px; HEIGHT: 175px" height="175" alt="certification-home page-main background.jpg"></img><a href="/en/certification/placementexam/default.asp" tcmuri="tcm:18-442"><IMG tcmuri="tcm:18-425" SRC="/en/Images/certification-page-header_tcm18-425.jpg" align="right" width="550" height="175"/></a>

What I need to do is parse a string, then create variables for each word. Example:
- someone enters "cats and dogs" in the text field
- I need to end up with:
firstWord = "cats"
secondWord ="and"
thirdWord ="dogs"
Then I will use the variables firstWord, secondWord, thirdWord later in my app.

I have a text file that is the result of using XMLHTTP object to pull back a
page of search results from a search engine.
So I have the entire results page in HTML, and want to break out each hit
result from the text file as a unique item and do what I want with each hit
result.
Is there any suggested algorithms or any other techniques I could be
directed to?

In my main 'submit news' admin for a site I am doing, I want to be able to offer the person submitting the news the ability to reference other files within their text without the need to use HTML. My proposal is to use [square brackets] within the text that will then be parsed when the page is rendered from the database. At present I have this - e.g.
To download the file [file.exe, click here]. Which I want to render with the words 'click here' as being a link to file.exe. I'm very familiar with instr, replace and split (all of which I think I would need to use) but I cannot figure out how to parse the above text in the way I want.

I want to use asp to do text find and replace with XHTML elements. for example, let's say I have the following XHTML:
<note>
<from id="123">Jani</from>
<to>Tove</to>
<message>Norwegian: æøå. French: êèé</message>
</note>
I want to read this document in, find and XML element with id="123" and replace its text with "New author".
Can I do this in ASP?

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.

I know this is a little off topic, but this is the best resource I know of for anything coding related.
I'm needing to read through a text file that will have the following format:
c:ools
c:docs
c:htdocs
And have the the results put in an array for later processing. What I'm trying to build is a small vbscript that will automatically backup each path that may be in a given txt file.

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

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:

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?

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 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 interested in creating an asp function that enables the general parsing of xml. The function needs to take into account the structure of the xml document, as the document(s) can be quite complex.
The use of getElementsByTagName() is not appropriate in this case as I'm trying to avoid picking up the wrong data. The function also needs to be able to test if a node has any attributes and what the attributes are. Here's an example of the document I'm trying to parse: Code:
