I've got a function that I use to replace ' marks so the page will insert properly into a database - typically I use .Code:
whatever= request.form("whatever")
whatever = replace(whatever,"'", "''")
However, I've got some code that I unfortunately inherited from someone else that I can't get the replace to work:Code:
call buildquery (colq,valq,retq,"whatever")
colq = "(" & colq & ")"
valq = "(" & valq & ")"
ssql = "insert into table_name " & colq & " values " & valq
I was trying to do something in the call buildquery line to add a replace, but that doesn't seem to work.
If I replace "a" with "b", and then I replace "b" with "a", shouldn't I get the same result? That is what I am trying to encode and decode with Replace() function, but it is giving me different things when I replace and replace again. Here is what I am talking about: Code:
some text is coming out of the DB with different urls in it, i want to delink it (like href="#" or something), how do i do that when i don't know what url is coming out?
How do I take out double quotes before writing to database? As doing ,""",""e;" created an error.Is it something like ,chr(34),""e;" which I sort of stumbled accross when I did soem google searching... But what and where do these chr(34) etc coem from?

I create a text file thats used by the factories EDI system and the number needs to be xxxxxxxxxx. I'm using the code below but what if they enter their number xxx.xxx.xxxx OR (xxx) xxx-xxxx etc. You get the idea.
My form gets populated from an access database. Now in the database there are fields containg <br>. While in a normal page everything works as it's supposed to, in my listbox the <br> shows as it is. What I would like to do is replace it with a space so I've used this:
I've tried EVERY way i can think of to do this replace function, basically when i go to insert "Do's and Dont's into the database it cuts it off at "Do" because of the ' now ill show you my section of code that i have it in currently:
i use the URLencode function and it changes my form text to: this+is+it%21
ok, this is good, but when I use it in a URL, it includes "this" but then the link dies and the rest is just text, the user must then copy and paste the whole address in the browser. Anyway to get around this?
I am not sure if this is a question for this forum or the IIS forum but here goes. I have a dedicated server on which I am hosting about 80 websites at the moment, all of which have been created by copying a template site. All of these sites have an identical structure and are located in the same directory on the server, C:Inetpubvhosts. Several times when I have needed to make an adjustment to the sites I have to go into the remote desktop connection to the server and go site by site, copying and pasting files. For example, as each site has the same pages, ie., map.asp, sometimes I make a change to that page and have to copy it to every site. Could I write some sort of script using the FSO and execute it from one site and have it loop through each site on the server making the neccessary change(s)?

I been trying to figure out the following. I have a string of 9 numeric characters such as 000982675 and 001000510. The problem I have is in the following code:
a= "I am trying to replace a string from 1 point to another point which is point 2. But I dont know how ? " b = "This"
Now from string a I want to replace from 1 to 2 with string b="this" so the final string will be like c c= "I am trying to replace a string from this. But I dont know how ?
I have to make a change to the global.asa file on a website. I've never modified this file before. Are there any special steps needed such as restarting IIS or rebooting the machine to make the changes take effect?
i have the content of a db field output as 'GUEST' on a asp page, i would like to replace it with 'Guest' using the replace function, but im getting kinda lost with the syntax..can anyone help with an example?
I have an access db with a table in it that has a memo field that has blank lines and when displaying page I want to interpret these as <p> so page displays properly. Have tried the code below but not working?
<script language = "JavaScript"> { document.write(Replace(<%=(rsNews.Fields.Item("Article").Value)%>,".","<p><p>< hr>")) }
I have a lil text box,or I guess you can call it an upload form. I just want it to get the text and not the actual file and insert it into a column in the database.This is a local server. When i click on browse and select an item I get for example:
W:origac55640.jpg
When this inserts into the database I want it to change to
/images/orig/ac/55640.jpg
So what I plan to have in my insert statement is '"&REPLACE(imglink,"W:/","/images/")&"'... I don't know how to get the other "" to change to "/".How would I do this? Also, would that particular replace statement work correctly?
