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 ?
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:
View Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.
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 = ""
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?
I'm importing data from a csv file but have the following problem.
It see any comma in a specific column as the end of the current column and move the rest of the values into the next column I.E Data from column 4 display as data from column 5.
I do know that it's comma delimited but would like to know if there's no way that I can distinguish between the commas in a column and the commas that indicate a new column.
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5
Value Value Value Val,ue Value

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?
I have a price field in a cms,it can deal with full stops fine, but i cant understand why it wont accept commas.
View Replies View RelatedI 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.
let say i got a string:
apple, orange, durian

View Replies View Relatedhow 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"

View Replies View RelatedI'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.

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:

curdescription = trim(arrTemp(4))
curdescription = replace(curdescription, "'", "''")
i use the URLencode function and it changes my form text to: this+is+it%21

View Replies View RelatedI 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)?
