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 am looking for something similar to "preg_match" and "preg_match_all" in PHP.
I have searched the forum with no luck. I hope you are able to give me some pointers
Basically I want to match some text from a form and loaded it into new variables making use of regular expressions. the text comes form a textarea input type. Code:
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.
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 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 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.
Have an ASP page on internet, where I let the user write his email address. Today I see that this text input field has got a yellow background instead of the normal white as the other input fields. The code is quite normal. Using IE 6.0.2900. It has not appeared before. Then I rebooted the computer,but got the same result.When I try another computer, also with XP pro and the same IE, the text input is white as it should.
View Replies View RelatedI have a form with an text box called keywords. I want to get the text typed in by the user from this box (which will pobably be built up of several words).
I have declared arrsplitkeywords to assign these words to. But first i have split the input from the text box where there is a space. See the line of code below:
arrsplitkeywords = Split(Request.Form("Keywords"),",")
I now need to replace this so that the words are split up to be split like "','" I have the following line of code to do this:
Replace(arrsplitkeywords,",", "','")
This doesn't appear to work, and on the replace line i get the following error:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0401)
Expected end of statement
Any help please as to why this isn't working?
I want to capture the value of variable into a hidden input test field, using the following code.Code:

I am trying to build an asp page the displays 100 characters from text inputed into a text area. The page keeps breaking because it counts any HTML code the text might have. I would like to have it count the words instead and when I write out the words it includes any underlying html.
For example, here is a sentence: "The fox jumps over the lazy dog" and I could cut this sentence in half by counting out the first 18 character and only outputing those respectively. Everything would work just fine. But if the sentence is like this "The fox jumps <a href='http://www.microsoft.com' target='_blank'>over</a> the lazy dog." a simple letter count no longer works for me. If I printed out the first 18 characters then it will break my "href" tag and therefore would mess up the formatting of my page. Can someone point me to an article or component that will assist me in correcting this?
I want to create some text input fields which they should all have the same size regardless the browser version or type. Because my text input field looks different in size if I view them from a different computer. Is the following coding should solve the problem?
<input type="text" name="field" value="" size="30" style="width:300px;">
Is the best way to use CSS to control the size of a text input field?
how do i allow the user to add in a value that has a ' in it (e.g int'l) apperantly if i do that there will be an error... how do i go about this?

View Replies View RelatedI'm using Access Database with ASP. There is one particular thing that I

My purpose is for user to update their own profile. Their existing profile
information will be display in Edit Form format. The problem is if the field
has space, the second word will not display, when I display in input text
format.

Johnson" as FirstName, when I execute following code and do a input text, it
will display "David" only. Code:

How can I prevent this? I was thinking if it is possible for me to write some code to disable people using the control-p to paste text in my text input field.. Can I really do that? What other options do I have?

View Replies View RelatedI'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:
ASP
I have
value(0) = 1
value(1) = 2
value(2) = 3
value(3) = 4
etc...
I need to have as output
1,2,3,4 ...

How can I parse it so that I can just get:
