I have this bit of code that stores the current web page address in a Session variable. I want to always remove the last four characters, such as E.asp, or G.asp, or I.asp.
I searched tutorials on string manipulation but all seem to take out a string in the middle of a string and replace it with something. I just want the last 4 characters removed.
how to take a string and output it such that the last 4 characters are removed (.txt, .pdf, .doc, etc.)
View Replies View RelatedIn PHP I'd use the following line:
$parsedfilename = substr($parsedfilename, -4);
But I can't find the same way to do it in vbscript using ASP!
I simply want to strip the last four characters, but leave the rest of the string in tact! As the string could be any length, I don't know a start position.
Surely it's simple and I'm missing something?
I use ASP, but i dont think it matters. I am parsing large text files. some of them have non standard characters. I just want to parse a file and replace anything that is not found on a keyboard in usa. I just want to keep:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, .,?'"!@#$%^&*()-_=+";:<>/|}{[]`~
everything else i want to remove (asian letters, wacky characters, etc)
Using ASP/VB I need to remove unwanted commas from the end of a field
that will be use in an array. There are items in the field that are

Any ideas?

I currently have a variable that is pulled from a database for currency amount. Ex: 25.99 . I need to remove the decimal place so that the variable is like 2599 instead. How can I use ASP to remove this decimal place?
View Replies View RelatedHow would you get the first two characters out of a string variable to make an asp:label respond a certain way. For example:
The string is "F112345678995" I would like to pull the "F1" out so that an asp label will respond "No match".
Is this as clear as mud?? If you need further clarification let me know. Also can you use a trim statement like in VB?

I know there is a way of stripping out special characters from a string however I need a way of stripping out "" marks from a string or what i really want is to replace all double ("") marks in a string with single ('') marks before inserting the string into a database.

View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to strip out none alphanumeric characters (and a couple of punctuation marks) from a string before inserting into a database.
I've put in my code below, basically I thought I'd loop through each character in turn and pass it through a regular expression to check its validity. If it passes I'll add it to a global variable ('validString') if it fails I'll remove it.
But I can't get my Mid() function to accept 'i' as a value so it won't loop. Code:
I have these strings which are pulled from a database which contains both
english and chinese characters(big5).
e.g.
Fragrant Rice 10kg Green Dragon?
Broken Rice 10kg G.Elephant?
I want to split the string at the first occurance of the non ascii character so that i can get the english and chinese parts separated.
what is the maximum number of characters that a string variable can hold - i
initially thought it was 256, but after some testing it seems that it can
hold much more than that..
what I would like to do is remove a substring from a full string and display the modified string my basic code should be some like this:
strSearchString = FullString
strSearchFor = "SubString"
If InStr(1, strSearchString, strSearchFor) > 0 then
Response.write (FullString - Substring)
does anyone have any idea how I would go about doing this?

View Replies View RelatedHow to write asp code to remove duplicates in an array.
For Eg: A()=(1,5,10,15,10,20,5)
After removal of duplicates it should be

The main idea goes like this: I have a textarea, on the right I have a listbox whose elements are loaded from an Oracle Database, I want to have an "Add" Button which when pushed will insert in the textarea the value selected on the listbox between "{ }" (ej, The {white} cat), you can add as many values as you wish and also manually edit the text, and a Submit button which open another ASP page that will check the sintax of the textarea and insert it on the Database.
So far I already have the part which checks the sintax and inserts it on the db, and the listbox with the elements you can insert on the textarea, but my boss really wants the "Add-Remove" feature and I need to finish this for Tuesday

View Replies View RelatedI'm developing an Asp.NET system to take a CSV file uploaded via the web, parse it, and insert the values into an SQL database. My sticking point comes when I try to split() the string returned by readline() on the file.
The following code snippet works for me:
tokens = "one,two,three,four".Split(",")
for each token in tokens
response.write("<td>"+token+"</td>")
next
However, if I take the next line in the CSV, read using StreamReader.ReadLine on the PostedFile.InputStream, I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which I have narrowed down to be my string holding the line. Further investigation reveals that no other string member functions work on my line (.ToCharArray, .ToString, etc).
I suspect that StreamReader.ReadLine is not correctly returning a string, even though Response.Write(line) displays what I would expect .....
