Trimming Commas
I'm dynamically building an SQL string to do an execute, and keep ending up with a leftover comma, so the string looks like this.
INSERT INTO Software ( Title, Version, Licensing, Total_Licenses, support_phone, support_email, Campuses_Licensed, Comments, support_web, FundingSource, Course_title, Subject, Grade_level, LocalExpert, ACTIVE, CATE, EntryDate,) VALUES ( 'Bob's Super Crappy Software', '4.3', 'labpack', '36', '555', '555', 'Alexander, Bilhartz, Central, Fairmeadows, Hyman, Daniel', 'James is testing this', 'www.bob.com', 'Campus PO', 'Math', 'Math', '4, 5, 6', 'Patrick Williams', '1', '0',)
Both commas are added dynamically and can be trimmed on the fly. I tried using RTRIM(strSQL, ",") but this didn't work.I put the fields into an array and tried to add only commas to all but the last entry, but that also didn't work.
CSV Commas In Data
How is the best way to handle commas in data in CSV files? I'm currently using the following:
set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set act = fso.opentextfile(server.mappath("filename.csv"))
itext = act.readall
arrlist = split(itext,chr(10))
and then looping through the rows and splitting at commas. However, some of the data has commas in it, which is throwing things off.
Adding Commas
4 months into the land of ASP and I still have newb questions.I have a simple string.
centertype = Type1 & Type2 & Type3 & Type4 & Type5
How do I add a comma to seperate this string? Keep in mind that some of the values may be blank.
i.e. Type1 = ""
or Type4 = ""
Replace :: Commas
I need to create a string along the lines of "23,43,78,23" with no comma at the beginning or end of it. The data comes out of a table so i've created a loop to get the data and form the string :
StrRecip = "," & objRS("number") & StrRecip
This will give me something like : ",42,78,67,2,90"
And then I've removed the leading comma :
StrRecipRem = replace(StrRecip, ",", "", 1, 1)
Is there actually a better way ?
Remove Commas From End Of String
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
comma separated, so I don't want to remove them, just the end ones,
could be anywhere up to 5 unwanted commas.
Any ideas?

Commas Getting Inserted Into Database
I don't know if anyone has encountered this before. I've written ASP code to insert, update and delete records from Access and SQL Server tables before but this is the first time I face this issue -
I have a form that inserts data into an Access table. For a few of the fields, commas are getting inserted into the table. If the field is left blank, there is a comma inserted. If we enter data in the field, the comma is appended to the field value (eg: smith, )
The only thing different that i'm doing here from what I've done before is I'm inserting a larger number of fields into the table - 117 fields!!
Do you think the insert statement hasn't been written correctly?

View Replies View RelatedDisplay Data Between Commas
I would like to know if you can display only certain data into a field between commas or any other symbol without using the curshort feature. For example. I have the following.
Part, A3472, Desc: Controller: Price$ 45.00
I just need this out of it in a single form field.
A3472
I cannot use the cutshort feature because my part numbers are different lengths.

View Replies View RelatedInverted Commas Hides Data
how to avoid an error when calling data to a text form field that contains inverted commas? When I enter "inverted commas" into a text field on a form and save to my Access database, after save the text field appears to be blank but when I look in the database it appears as entered. The problem is when the text field calls the field it doesn't show if the text is encased in inverted commas.
For instance, in my form field 'title' I enter: Big Title "Yeah" After saving the form, all that appears within the form field 'title' is: Big Title Yet the access database itself shows: Big Title "Yeah"

I have tried splitting the individual variables on the " with this

I have a database which currently stores a series of urls that are displayed in a page. The title field contains the url and the title text. I use the code below to display the information.

Removing A Period From A String
I need to remove a period from a string of data. I have a whole column
of numbers that have a period distributed randomly in them, and I need
a way to pull the period out. Unfortunatly, the period is not at a
fixed interval from the start or from the end. Sometimes it's like
this: 08307.33214

others.
Can someone please show me how to write a function that will remove
the period no matter where it is located in the string?
