Im developing a site for an organisation im a member of. Im trying to make updating the site a simple as possible for the organistions staff, some of which are not the computer literate. So i have made a kind of template site where the content of all the pages held in a access db. I have then made an admin backend where organisation staff can login and update the contents of pages simply by editing text in a text box and clicking the update button.
However, i've come across a problem. When users leave a line break in the text box the output page doesnt display the gap. I am using a simple response write to display the contents of the attribute on the page. Currently the only way im managing to get line breaks is to enter a '<br>' into the text box on the admin page.
How could i make it so when a line is left blank on the text box the database records this and displays it on the output page?
I'm trying to save to a message field with the field type, memo.
Say I save the message:
"Test 1
Test 2
Test 3"
When I response.write it, it will turn out like " Test 1 Test 2 Test 3"
losing all the line breaks and such
If I response.write it within <textarea> </textarea> tags it comes back
I created a form mail script. I am receiving an HTML email from the user input. However, If the user enters a line break in the comments field I am receiveing a single block of text in my email.
Is there a way to get the line breaks to show up in the email. I tried Wrap=physical in the input but its still the same.
searched the forum many people posted the same thing many times about text areas displaying line breaks when data is retrived, i know this is the right code
<%=Replace(data, VBCrLf, "<br />")%>
but where abouts do i put this in my asp page.
i have a variable which is like
Code:
UsrStr = "root|1234"
ive checked the text file for it to validate it for removal, if it returns true i need to remove the line and clear that line so new lines can be added in the future.
how can i remove a spcified line from the file?
<%
response.write("Hi" & vbclrf)
response.write("there")
%>
There's no line break, it just displays it as Hithere.
I'm storing information in a database that will later be displayed on the website and I have a questions about line breaks. My users will type in paragraphs into the text area. Then that information will be saved in an Access Database. Later it will be displayed on the website.
The only problem is that the line breaks that the user makes aren't stored in the DB, so when the information is displayed on the website it doesn't have that formatting (line breaks). I don't want to have to tell the user to type in <br> after each paragraph. What can I do to keep that formatting?
I've got the following code which should write the contents of a textarea to a '.txt' file:
Code:
set objFileSystem = server.createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objFilePlainText = objFileSystem.CreateTextFile(server.mappath("templates/my-text-file.txt"),true)
objFilePlainText.write(strTemplatePlainText)
If I response.write this data before inserting to the txt file, it preserves the line breaks, but when it writes to the txt file it seems to lose all of the line breaks.
Does anyone know how to get this to preserve the formatting of the text being inserted?
I want to remove New Line Character from a record when i fetch it from database. Please suggest how it can be done in SQL or ASP.

for one of my forms, i have a textarea form element that is...substantially large (500x300px) users are instructed to hit enter/return on their keyboard to separate paragraphs but i have encountered a problem.

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
and sometimes it's like this: 66543354.2213
At any rate, I have a whole column of these in SQL Server 7.0 and need
to use the number as is for some issues, but without the period for
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?

When users fill out my text area field, there is a chance that there
will be no line feeds or cariage returns or spaces and just one really
long word.
THIS CAUSES A MAJOR PROBLEM! What I am trying to do is
force a vbCrLf if a string is long than 80 characters in a row. So if
a string is a total of 500 characters with no line feeds, spaces, or
returns, I want to force a vbCrLf every 80 characters so that is
doesn't overflow my preview text field on the next page.
Any suggestions on how the algorithm would be for this in VBscript

I had created a macro to read data from an excel sheet and write the values to a text file. I had used "ActiveSheet.Range("GB" & k).Value" command to read the values from the excel.some cells in the excel sheet is having two lines value and four lines data, the text file is generating that value in a single line. (Ex. the cell value in address column is in four lines and should display in four lines in the text file generated from the macro)
Can i do something in the excel sheet or in vb script to read the address value line by line and write line by line in text file?
