I have an ASP/database app that spits out copy from the database. Currently, the asp doesn't have any filters so the asp spits out exactly what is in the database. This is a problem since my client regularly inputs accented characters etc into the database and this ruins my character encoding.
Is there a way that I can set up a filter or similar that searches for any special characters from the database and replaces them with the relevant HTML ampersand before being printed to the HTML?
We have a database that contains many characters and symbols we no longer want (or that we need to replace with something else). For example... We have some records in a database that contain the copyright symbol:

Our table is titled Product_Descriptions and the column we want to run this query on is ProductDescription.
I've already searched and I found this:
UPDATE <table>
SET name = REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM(name)), '�', '©')
That should work right? But what do I enter to run this on my specific table/column? I know I have to replace the <table> from above with my own input... but can someone guide me in the right direction. I'm a noob when it's comes to SQL queries.
can you replace multiple characters with only one line of code?

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:
<option value="<%=(rsProducts.Fields.Item("CatNum").Value)%>"><%=replace(rsProducts.Fi elds.Item("NotesR").Value),"<BR>"," "%></option>

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:
curdescription = trim(replace(arrTemp(4), "'", "''"))
I have it this way and it doesnt work, and i even had it
curdescription = trim(arrTemp(4))
curdescription = replace(curdescription, "'", "''")
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?

" WHERE InStr (" & request("Field") & ", " & chr(34) & replace(replace(request("SearchWord"),"*","%"), "'", "''") & chr(34) & ") > 0 " & _

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)?
