Stock Quotes
I'm currently writing a custom financial app that tracks stock purchases and
values. however, I need help in retrieving stock quotes from the internet. A
20 minute delayed quote is fine. I do not want to revert to "page or screen
scraping".
ASP Function To Provide Stock Quotes?
Anyone know of an ASP application that will provide me with stock data for a
specific ticker symbol? Of course, a free app would be nice, but I'd
consider something I have to pay for.
I'd prefer something that is not an installed component (not a DLL or COM).

Is it possible to grab stock quotes (with of course the 15min delay!!) and place within an ASP page?written in ASP.it is possible to read HTML content on webpages without outputting them and then using the values etc
View Replies View RelatedCart And Stock
I have built a site with a cart which works fine but the client now wants stock to be deducted when the items is added to the cart. I have added 3 fields to the products table Stock, inBasket and Sold. The issue is that when they add to their Cart I deduct from Stock and add to inBasket.
If the user never completes the purchase then the stock level is always too low and inbasket too high.
If the users sales is completed in PayPal they are returned to the site and their Order is marked as paid or cancelled.
What I'd like if it is possible is a way set a timer on an order so that if it didn't complete the stock is reinstated.
Updating Stock
I have made a type of system for stock where there is a page that displays all the stock on hand. This is pulling data from a table in the database. There is another page for taking stock.
So, you click on an item from the dropdown list and then type in the quantity you are taking. This info is inserted into a different table. How do I do an update so that if someone takes 20 of an item, it deducts 20 from the stock on hand column in the other table?
Show Stock Price From A URL
Using classic ASP, are there any examples which I can use to show a stock price of a particular stock.The URL I am looking at is:
http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT
Is there a way that the page will directly update the intranet page with the stock price of the indicated stock?
Different Messages Displayed Depending On Stock Level
I want to display a different message deppending on the amount of stock left. For example if there is no stock i would like to display "out of stock", if the item is in stock display "in stock". Code:

I am developing a simple ASP-Access system for invoicing purpose, and the system is in 98% progress. What I want to do now is to add some sort of "control stock levels".
Let say I have set the quantity of an item/product (eg, pencil=100) in my database (in my database it refer to the table tblProducts with the field called PStockLevel) When one customer want to buy 10 pencil, the system will automatically set the PStockLevel to 90. All the calculation will be done in the page called tasks.asp.

Removing Quotes
I have successfully taken over a number of variables from a .csv file and put them into an .asp page. Unfortunately the .csv file has all these variables enclosed in double quotes i.e "Hello" and appear this way on the .asp page. Is there anyway of removing the double quotes (") from the beginning and end of the variables?
I have tried splitting the individual variables on the " with this
sSeg2 = Split( var1, """ )
but this brings an error..
Unterminated string constant
/iq/groupama/chamber/test3.asp, line 74, column 26

Strings With Quotes In
< input type=text name="PageTitle" id="PageTitle"
value="<%=strPageTitle%>" >
How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are
contained within strPageTitle? Do I have to use a series of replace()
functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?
(Using escape(strPageTitle) fills the box with % signs...)
Double Quotes Tag

Second Question:

Single Quotes
I've got an HTML page with a series of links that are intended to search a category listing in a database.
for example
link 1 has a querystring of "?subid=Boats"
link 2 has a querystring of "?subid=Cars & Trucks"
link 3 has a querystring of "?subid=Men's & Women's Outerwear"
etc
As long as the subid doesn't contain any single quotes or any special characters such as the "&", my SQL works ok and the records are retrieved. 'm using Request("subid") to get my querystring value.Is there any way I can escape the single quotes or other special characters in the Request("subid") so it won't break the SQL?

Escape Quotes
I'm still having trouble getting some of my data being returned properly when people use quotes. (ex ProjectName contents being - the "primary" project - The double quotes are the main issue. I am using a function for the single quote and it seems to have resolved the issue.
Code:
Term = trim (Term)
if Term <> "" then
Term = Replace (Term, chr (39), chr (39) & chr (39))

I use this just when passing strings from a form. I tried altering it and using chr (34) for a double quote but it didn't work.
Quotes From Database
I have a form that asks for the size of a particular object. Sometimes the size is 4" X 8". The problem that arises is when the record is pulled back from a database to a textbox in a form; I get an error with HTML.
I try and place the 4" X 8" into a text box, like <input type="text" name="size" value="4" X 8""> Is there something I can do in ASP to keep this from happening after the client receives the data?
Understand Quotes Better
As I get further and further into ASP/VBscript I realize I just don't undertstand how to properly use single/double quotes at the same time. This is really holding me back. If anyone can help me understand this better or know some good articles I would appreciate it. My current problem is adding a logo to my page from the database.

Double Quotes
I'm trying to pass data from a <textarea> box to a confirmation page and then pass the same information from the confirmation page to a final page.
When the information gets passed to the final page it is truncating it where there are double quotes. I've tried to do a replace() function to try and escape the quotes out but it's not working.

Single Quotes ( ' )
Access 2000 doesn't allow single quote when updating records from the webpage. If the user need to insert for example the name O'neil in a field it will create this error:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''O'neil', r_add1 ='Auburn', r_add2 =' ', r_city ='AUBURN', r_state ='WA', r_zip ='98001' WHERE r_id =279'.
Is there a script I can use to accept the single quote as part of a string of characters?
Converting Smart Quotes, Etc.
I've got a situation where I need to be able to replace "smart quotes" and similar characters that are created (presumably) by Microsoft Word. If you don't already know, smart quotes are those "curly quotes" that curl or angle in toward the text on each side. Here is an example, though I'm not sure how it will display in a browser: “
I thought I had just used a standard replace function in the past for these things, and that seemed to work when the text was coming from a form. However, now I am receiving them from a scraped web page, which I have retrieved using ServerXMLHTTP. In this case, a standard replace is not working.
I've noticed that when I use Server.HTMLEncode on the text, both left and right smart quotes, angled apostrophes, em dashes, etc. all get encoded as  which tells me something goofy is going on. I don't know if this is a character encoding issue or what. I could just HTMLEncode the string and do a replace on  but that also encodes other things that I don't want encoded, and there appears to be no such thing as Server.HTMLDecode in classic ASP.
Passing Quotes In A URL Call
I want to dynamically build a call to another asp page and include some
parameters as part of the call. The basic format of the call is something
like::
"<a href='mypage.asp?id=" & theid & "&location='" & thelocation &
"'>GO</a>"
where there is a single quote followed by a double quote following the
...location=... and vica-versa after the variable
My problem is that the variable thelocation can include a single quote or a
double quote. I tried Server.URLEncode and that didn't work. I got a string
that ended up causing a Page Not Found (it encoded the dot in the page name
and that didn't work)
How can I encode the data so that quotes will be accepted in this type of
call?

Inserting Into DB When Data Contains Quotes
I have a form that inserts data into a database...wow, big surprise there, huh? Anywho, my problem is when a user types a word like can't or won't etc.. The single quote obviously throws off the SQL string.
I looked through the forums to see if anyone else had similar problems and I found one. It was suggested to use a replace method upon inserting and then reversing that when reading data from the database. Code:
