2) when highlighting words (in a search results page for example), I want to match the word ignoring case. however, when wrapping the word in highlighting code and replacing the substring, I want to keep the original capitalization.
for example, if the word to match is marvelous, but the word is stored uppercase in the db, the above code will replace the word with a lowercase version. how do I get around this?
3) I want to remove any and|or that are not inside double quotes in a string. for example,
test = """The dog and the cat""" & " and fox or mouse " & """the cat and the dog"""
resulting in "The dog and the cat" and fox or mouse "the cat and the dog"
I would like to remove only the AND OR linking fox and mouse in the middle of the string. how would I do that?
I'm trying to pass data from a <textarea> box to a confirmation page and then pass the same information from the confirmation page to a final page.
When the information gets passed to the final page it is truncating it where there are double quotes. I've tried to do a replace() function to try and escape the quotes out but it's not working.
I have some data string like ~!@#$%'^&(*("}[;asd"> which contains double quote and greater then sign, first I need to insert this value into database, second this inserted value I have display in a textbox by retriving from database, as it has "> at end of the string values are getting discarded.
When you want to put double quotes inside a string, how do you verify that the double quotes are not the end to a string? For example, what if you want to write this. Code:
"Response.Write("The words "DEV SHED FORUMS" are in double quotes")
Could someone explain when to use double and single quotes? I'm having a problem with an insert statement and I think it may be the quotes. The error I get is a sql syntax error.
The values are variables. I checked the input statements first then assigned to variables. I hoped it would make the sql statement easier for me too read. Also does Access accept null?
It will grab any style attribute within HTML that uses double quotes, and put it in the re.Matches collection.Now, I want to include single quotes into this regular expression. Here's what I have so far:
why the following code incorrectly returns 2 as matches count whereas when I change str = "179,80,179,80,179" I get the correct count which is 3? str = "179,179,179" num = 179
Set regEx = New RegExp regEx.Global = true regEx.IgnoreCase = True regEx.Pattern = "(^|,)" & num & "($|,)"
Set colMatches = regEx.Execute(str) response.write colMatches.Count & "<BR>"
I have a string which is an html document - I want to eliminate all the <script>blah blah</script> tags. I can't seem to get the regexp pattern right. Here's where I've got to:Code:
Set oReg = New RegExp oReg.IgnoreCase = True oReg.Pattern = "(<script[. ]*</script>)"
Set oMatches = oReg.Execute(sHTML)
For Each oMatch In oMatches sHTML = Replace(sHTML, oMatch.Value, "") Next
I am trying to write an asp(vbscript) parser for wiki-style pseudo code, and can't get my head round regexp.
I am hoping if somebody could give me an example to work on for one, I could sort the others.
e.g. how do you turn (from within a large string, with varying occurences) .......[image:/mydir/pics/my portrait.jpg | A picture of me]...... into ......<img src="/mydir/pics/my%20portrait.jpg " alt="A picture of me">.....
I'm struggling trying to get the concepts of the regExp function down....
What i'm trying to achieve is to remove all white space from html formatted source code.
I have the following regExp search string to remove all html source code but that is not what i require.. RegExp.Pattern = "<.*?>"
I want to store all html source code and its text/image contents into a DB.
For that reason i want to remove all line breaks and spacing/tabs within the source code so as to only have one exteremely long single line leaving the formatting of the contents of the html code alone all so that i can stuff into a varchar(MAX) field.
what is the syntax for parenthesis? but i don't want to allow <> or / like S would (if i understand that correctly). would i use ascii then, as in: x40 and x41?
Premise: Inserting data into a database form a <textarea> and displaying this data through an HTML page.
When inserting data into a database via a text area and then displaying this data any carriage return that was entered into the database was lost. I Created a function to replace a carriage return with a <BR>. I call this function when I display this data.
If I enter text inside <> into a database and then display this data, any text that was within the <> is lost because it is considered an HTML tag. How can I search the string for the brackets and actually diplay them? I do not want to use Server.HTMLEncode before I insert the data into the database. This is because we often query the database from outside a web browser.
Here is my function I have for the carriage return. I need to figure out how to accomplish this for both < and >. I am sure this is simple but I do not know what the .pattern should be (for a carriage return it is " ".
SET regQuote = New RegExp regQuote.pattern = " " regQuote.global = True catchCR = regQuote.Replace(strText, "<br>")
I have a bit of code that replaces all links in my forums with hyperlinks. I'd like to add [url=www.sitehere.com]Link[/url] BB Code links to my forums. This is difficult to word, but how do you specify for RegExp to skip links if they are in [url] tags.
I have some code working with Regular Expressions and it works right on my server (W2K Server), but doesn't work on all IIS 5 servers. I originally thought that the servers just didn't have the RegExp object, but a testing script shows that the problem is in the replace statement. Code:
I'm not so familiar with ASP, so don't shoot me if this one's easy. I have to redesign the front of a Belgian hosting company. On that front they have a domain check like this:
Input field (domain without extension) Hidden fields with populair basic extensions
(<input type=hidden name=ext value=be> <input type=hidden name=ext value=com> ...) Submit button What I want now when the the user submits this form is that IF he adds an extension in the first field (which is not required), the script also checks if that extension is available. Code:
I just realized that it's so important to validate each string, I mean 'each' before you insert data from asp page into database.
I guess some customers just copy data from some electronic document and paste intoform field which it will probably mess up the program.
for example, we have a customer who wants to enter AH12345 into one of our fields, it appears Ð?Ð?12345 in hidden field of our asp page, but it displayed AH12345 to the customer, but our program failed because of the data does fit into char field in sql database.
I don't know in reality, how other companies deal with those kind of thing. Do I have write our own regExp to validate each string, since we do need to allow apostrophe or "-" in first name or last name.
is it possible (i heard u can replace) to filter out bad words using regexp? I'm using Replace() but it sucks without ALOT of extra code... but using regexp it seems better, with ignorecase, etc.
I need to truncate a news article to only show a certain number of characters on the front page. the news articles often contain html and the characters in the html are being counted. So, even though I want the text to be truncated at, say, 350 characters, the final result on the page looks like it's been truncated way further up, because the text of the html added to the character count.
here's the code i'm using to truncate
URLFunction ChopLastWord( Line, Length ) If Len(Line) < Length Then ChopLastWord = Line Exit Function End If Dim spaceat spaceat = InStrRev( Line, " ", Length ) If spaceat < Length-20 Then spaceat = Length ' value of 20 is arbitrary ChopLastWord = Left( Line, spaceat ) & "..." End Function
set typ = server.createobject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
to create a random string of 36 characters. However, is there a way to create a random string of digits in the length I request? Perhaps a string of 20 digits with a few asterisks thrown in for ease of typing?
I have a form online, and I don't know if people are double clicking the submit button or what is happening really, but sometimes I will have two or more matching entries in a row. Is there any code I can use to filter out double clicks or tripple clicks even? These forms are done in asp and sent to sendcontactform.asp to process.
I am using an HTML form to post data to my database, but when a users enter contact info into my database I am getting the same info twice, although the user only submits once. Here is my code:
What I would like to do is the following: Menu box 1 populates all 50 states from an SQL table. Use selects State. Menu box 2 gets populated from SQL table with Al counties in that State. User selects prefered county then hits submit The part I am having trouble with is populating the county menu box.
