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?
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.
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.
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?
Hey so I ran into a pretty big problem here and hoping someone could lend some advice.
Scenario:
- User uploads CSV file to server through ASP form (Check)
- ASP then reads that file parses it throws in a HTML table for user to preview (Check)
- Throw headers and body columns into 2 seperate array to store for database saving capability (Check)
- If user has a "," in the header name or a field entry things go crazy! (Check)
That's the process and all is great except if there is a comma in one of the field entries or in the header names. Code:
I'm using the code below to get the contents of a remote file on my domain.
The problem is all the "£" signs are being changed to "?" signs.
Does anyone know why and how to fix it.
Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
url "http://www.domain.com/file.asp"
xmlhttp.open "GET", url, false
xmlhttp.send()
Response.write xmlhttp.responseText
I'm needing some help on this. I need to know how to parse a file path for the file name in a browse box. Lets say I have a browse box in a form with the input of

View Replies View RelatedI have a page which sends a query to an DB2 using an ODBC. The
results are then written to a text file. I am unable to write directly to
the users drive because of permissions.
The problem I have is that when the
query set becomes too big, I get error '8007000e' Not enough storage is
available to complete this operation. The query is returning 100, 000
records or more. So my question is how do I handle this? Somebody had
suggested to me to chunk the data. Code:
I would like to know how I could accomplish this without using DB. There's a long text file named "TEST.TXT" The TEST file contains special character 'º' which will be used as pagebreak. I want an ASP page that will read the TEST.TXT file and split it into multiple web pages with navigation control. (eg. <FIRST<PREVIOUS>
<NEXT<LAST)
If it is possible
My original thought was to save the recordset into a text file. However,
because of permissions I am unable to do this and will not be able to change
the permissions. My next thought was to open it in excel. However, the
table is too large and I get the Cell Table: too many rows or columns error.
I need the user to be able to save the records on her computer.

how to write (String data) to a text file from an ASP page?
View Replies View RelatedI wrote an asp program that displays some information line by line such as
name, address, town, state, zip
and it prints about 200 lines to their browsers when the asp file is called.
It is comma delimted so they can import into their database using access for
example.
1. when they do file-save as to a txt file, it does not import right for
them. It seems the lines blend into each other.
1. the only way they can do it is if they view the source code, then save as
txt file. then when they import into access, it parses right.
odd, what can i do on my asp end to make sure they can just do a file save
as right from browser instead of viewing source.
Can this be done? For example, in the line below. There may not always be a & objRS("ShippingAddress2") and I'm wondering if there is a way to use an if/then in there some how. If there is no data in that field then I need to pass over this part completely & objRS("ShippingAddress2") & "|"
I'l have several instances where I need to do this Code:
fname.WriteLine("hd2|" & objRS("ShippingName") & "|" & objRS("ShippingAddress") & "|" & objRS("ShippingAddress2") & "|")
