Splitting Search String
I've made my first ASP website that interacts with a detabase. All fairly standard: it can display the entire contents of the db, you can input new items, update and delete items, and I've just started making a search page...[!]
It all works fine if the user just searches with one word, but if they enter more than one word and then press search, I don't know how to split their searchstring up into [an array of?] different strings to search the db with.
Is this even the easiest way to do it, or am I just wasting my time?

I have a var with the value of ADED I want to be able to break this var into an array of 4 elements, or it could be three, depending on the value of the variable.
I tried the following but got nothing.
Code:
dim strVar, arrVar
strVar = Request.QueryString("strVar")
arrVar(0) = Left(strVar, 1)
arrVar(1) = Mid(strVar, 2, 1)
arrVar(2) = Mid(strVar, 3, 1)
arrVar(3) = right(strVar, 1)
When I try to response.write(arrVar(2)), i get nothing. What am I doing wrong?

I have a very long string statement that needs spltting down into smaller sections and segments. I know how to use the split() function, and it splits the string down into smaller sections, however when I try and split one of these smaller sections into segments it throws an error out. Firstly is it possible to keep splitting the same string again and again to break it down? If not does anybody know how I would go about breaking down the string?

I have these strings which are pulled from a database which contains both
english and chinese characters(big5).
e.g.
Fragrant Rice 10kg Green Dragon?
Broken Rice 10kg G.Elephant?
I want to split the string at the first occurance of the non ascii character so that i can get the english and chinese parts separated.

I am passing the following variables....
City - name of city
RentLow - low range of rent
RentHigh - high range of rent
myquery - keywords
The following is the start of my query string but I am having issues with the City portion already and I have not gotten to the rent yet
I know the SQLquery portion right below is fine - it tested perfectly, along with the rest of the query, it was when I added in the request city string that gives me No value given for one or more required parameters. even though one is passed in the string.
SQLquery = "(" &parsethis(strText ,words ,wCount, 3) & ")"
SQLquery = Replace(SQLquery, "<FIELD1>", "title")
SQLquery = Replace(SQLquery, "<FIELD2>", "description")
SQLquery = Replace(SQLquery, "<FIELD3>", "comments")
SQLstr = "SELECT * FROM links WHERE " & SQLquery & " AND city = " & Request.QueryString("city") & " AND linktype = 2 AND active = " & myTrue & " " & SortSQL & ";"
end if

I have a page that is not asp that is linking to an asp page with a question mark and a variable on the end of the URL. How can I pull the variable off using server
side processing only?I have tried using ServerVariable("HTTP_REFERER") no good, I tried ServerVariable("URL") no good. I am also using Instr(var,"?") to search the url string like this.
Red1 = Requestor.ServerVariable("URL")
Test1 = Instr(Red1,"?")
Test1 is always a 0 because Red1 is always just the refering URL and I need the whole string in address field. I think that I am using the wrong property but I am not sure what is the right property.

I am having some trouble with getting reliable results with a search string I am using in an ASP page that uses embedded SQL.
In the ASP page, I am using checkboxes for the user to select states to search for records that apply to the selected states. Let's say that I checked the states of [GA][VA][TN]. And, let's say that there is a record with a column "states" which has the states of "AL,GA,FL,VA,TN".
The search criteria I use above will not return that record. However, If I use a search criteria that satifies the leading value of "states" or the trailing value of "states" the result will be returned. But since my search criteria 'breaks apart' the actual value of "states", it is not returned in the search. Why, and how can I make this work better?

I am creating a search page and need help writing the code to build the sql
string.
I have 3 fields on the main page which a user can choose to enter search
terms in any of the 3 fields. My question is how do I write the logic so it
only includes the fields in the search criteria where the user has entered
anything.
Fields are
Production No
Production Title
Synopsis
The user may enter any, all or some of the search teams in the fields.
On the search page I am using lots of if conditions to build my sql string
like
strSQL = "Select * from Productions where "
now after where there are lots of permutations and combination like
production no could be empty or it could be filled in and the other fields
might be empty or filled in as well.
Does someone has a simple logic to build the correct sql String?

This is probably simple and I'll kick myself when I see the answer, but I am trying to write a simple if statement that will check to see if a string value is contained within a list of string values. In SQL this is a simple matter with syntax like WHERE status IN ('PT', 'PD', 'PDC', 'DIP', 'TIP') I basically want to do the same thing in my ASP page.
I know I can use code like the following and am doing so now. I'm just looking for a more simple method. Code:

I want to search a string of HTML and insert a querystring into any url where the url is an asp page and is either a local link /folder/page.asp or of a specific domain http://www.somedomain.com/folder/page.asp. It needs to be able to handle plain links and those with querystrings already in there.
I could do it with instr functions etc but I thought this might a good time to brush up on regular expressions. Can anyone point me in the right dirction?

I am having a problem with getting my date to display in the format needed. The date is being called up from a database in the form of the date and time but I need to have the them both seperate from each other. Its for a message board app I'm currently developing. I've tried various methods but none have worked so far. I am using this code at the moment:
<%Response.Write FormatDateTime(sectionRS("MesDate"), vbGeneralDate)%>
The result comes out the same as if no formatting is used. Do I need to create a variable for the value being called up from the database?

I have a variable that stores an amount of time in '00:00:00' format. It is a varchar in the database.
Is there a way to Split the value into hours, minutes, and seconds so I can add them?
I figure it would look something like
xx*60 + xx*60 + xx*3600? Or something like that?

Has anyone had the misfortune to try and split a querystring that has x duplicate name/value pairs within the querystring? I have tried every sort of combination to do this and it continues to just run through the whole querystring.
here is an example querystring
URL
The Address values, email values, title values are fine as they are named on the previous page. The problem is, the L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 etc are dynamically named from a db depending on what the user selects on a previous page and can be duplicated up to 6 times, depending on how many different locations they have. I am able to get all the values at once, but need to be able to split the duplicated name/value pairs as they at seperate locations.
so what i need to be able to do is
Location 1
L1 - 0
L2 - 1
L3 - 0
L4 - 0
L5 - 0
Location 2
L1 - 0
L2 - 2
L3 - 2
L4 - 0
L5 - 0

This is the code I have so far:
I take the email address and split at the "@" symbol. Then I split at the "." sign to get the firstname and lastname.
Most of the times, the email address is of the format:
FirstName.LastName@company.com
However at times, the email address can be just firstname@company.com
At such instances the code fails, how do I check for the instance of . before I split it again?
