Altering Text Strings Using ASP
In Javascript, there is a feature where you can alter text strings by just using part of a string, just taking the third letter, fourth letter, etc.
Is there a feature like this using ASP (VBScript)? Or if not using ASP, what about ASP.NET?
Stripping Text Between Two Strings With Regular Expressions

Manipulating XML REQUEST
I have a problem with a customer's XML being submitting to me in a non-well-format XML.
They said that there are 18 other partners who has been able to tweak the XML to make it work. So I guess here is my question, in ASP, when working with XML, how do you handle non-well-formed XML documents on the "listener" response side?
Here's the scenerio:
Customer post XML Data to us (non-well-formed XML)
ie: <sites>
<mytag1>http://sonny.com/</mytag1>
<mytag2><![CDATA[http://google.com?search=hellow+world&language=EN]]></mytag2>
<mytag3>http://mysite.com/helloworld/?myvar1=123&myvar2=abc</mytag3>
</sites>
Looking at the XML data above the mytag1 and mytag2 are fully W3C XML conformed XML syntax, however the mytag3 is NOT. there are 2 tags in XML that are considered illegal characters in XML data, the "&" and the "<". In our case it's the "&" that's giving us grief.
Ok continue on, the customer sends this messed up format to me and I open it up with the MSXML DOM object and it craps out. Because it can't load the REQUEST XML.
Anyone know how to PULL the REQUEST value to a STRING variable? here are some sample codes I've tried.
sample 1.
Set X = server.createobject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
X.async = False
X.Load(REQUEST)
strXML = X.xml
Response.ContentType="text/xml"
Response.Write strXML
Sample 2.
strXML = cstr(REQUEST)
Response.ContentType="text/xml"
Response.Write strXML
Both doesn't work with the non-well-formed XML sent, Sample 2 doesn't work regardless, however Sample 1 does work with a well structured XML document. Anyone know how I can pull the XML from the REQUEST so that I can manipulate the string and format it so that it is parsable by the XMLDOM?
Manipulating Attachments
I've read about how to use CDO/CDONTs to manipulate mail sent to a server computer, and how to configure DNS so that the SMTP server will get the mail that you want it to.
Using CDO/CDONTS, can you programmatically access attachments to the mails that are sent to and stored on the server? What is the syntax? Is there an object reference or somesuch that I can look at that will point the way to the answer?
Manipulating Request.form
Select Case request.form("posted")
case 1
case 2
case 3
case else
end select
Here is my case statment each case has a form, which holds a varible named posted. There is a problem however, once the refresh button is pressed it &*#$# up. I need to set request.form("posted") to nothing and it would be good to know how to set all of request.form.
Manipulating Data From Table
I am wanting to add three fields that adds the totals from a column. Here is my current code that writes out my data from my table: Code:
View Replies View RelatedManipulating User Input From A Form
I have a HTML page with a form on it. I have an ASP page that processes what a user has entered into the form (updates a database etc).
I now need a page that fits between these two pages to pre-process�the users input. I need to do it this way because I am not allowed to change either of the two existing pages.
I know how to read what the user has input into the form and I know how to pass control onto the next page.
What I have not been able to work out is how to change the user input and have those changes passed onto the next page as if nothing has happened (that is, the original ASP page just performs its request.form(�item�) calls as it always has but instead of seeing what the user actually typed in, it should see the changed text as created by the new pre process� page)
I have tried using a regular expression replace but can only successfully make this change a variable and not the original form input. Equally I cannot find a way of swapping the original form input string with the output variable from the replace.
Does anyone have any ideas on this one?
Manipulating A Button Based On Readonly Attribute Of A Check Box
I have a asp page where a checkbox, when clicked will disable all text boxes
associated with the page.
The following is a part of a code for the checkbox with its name and
readonly attributes. name="chk_Complete" <%= isReadOnly %>
I have to disable(or make sure does not disaplay) a save button in the same
page when this checkbox's attribute is readonly. I have no idea how to do
this.
Manipulating Save Button Based On Readonly Attribute
I am trying to use the following code to make the save button invisible in
the asp form when the checkbox is either on or the session variable has a
particular value.
THE CODE IS AS FOLLOWS:
<%If ( cbool(l_IsChecked) = "FALSE" ) or (session("sess_FiscalFirst") <>
"Y") then%>
<input type="submit" value="Save" name="btn_Save">
<%End If%>
In the above, my logic is if the value of the checkbox is not true or the
value of the session variable is not Y then only show the SAVE button.
However this is not happening. I find that when the second part or the first
part is not there, the logic goes fine i.e. the logic holds with only the
first condition or the second condition itself but not with the or syntax.
Not sure why.

i am retrieving a record from the database, I am trying to place the value of the FULLNAME field in a textbox on a Form, the Problem is that it only displays half of the name leaving out the stuff that comes after a SPACE.
Example:
adors("fullname").value <--- Actual Value is John Smith
but it only displays John
Code:
<INPUT id=text1 readonly name=txtfullname value=<%=adors("fullname").value%>>
but if I try to just response.write it anywhere on the page then it displays the entire name.
Combining 2 Sql Strings
I have 2 SQL strings:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
And
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID
ORDER BY editie desc
Now I want to combine those 2 to one string.
I have problems to set it up in working order.
My tryout:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID &
" & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
It shows al the records which are joined, only the second string " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " is not working.
Placing Strings Onto Url
I found out a really nice way to keep things on the same page is for any processing page to add on a "?<something>=<something>"
and then just check to see what the something is equal to, and the number represents what you want the front page to show.
However, this <something> shows up on the url listing in a browser. Is there anyway to .. encode it so no one can see it? Like a encode/decode function?

I'm building a forum, and right now i'm creating the ability to edit posts. As part of this i want to add the usual "Edited by UserName on Date" line at the bottom, but am having problems doing so.

Connection Strings
I am developing a website and it's going fine, but i've heard that you shouldn't have your database in the wwwroot, it should be outside/above that.
I've done this (i'm using Dreamweaver MX) so I moved the db, fixed my odbc/dsn, connection string etc, but when I upload now I get this error.
Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80004005'
'C:Program FilesEnsimSiteDatawebpplianceconfdomainsInet pubwwwrootTesting_SiteDatabasesTesting_Website _DataSource.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. /Testing_Site/default.asp, line 8
This is line 8: Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_TestingConnection_STRING
Is there something that I have missed. It was ok when it was in the wwwroot.
Comparing Strings
i am having a problem with comparing two strings. I am taking
in the parameter rs("Company") and if this is empty i want to put some
text in there. I am testing it with an empty Company field and comparing
it like so:
temp1=rs("Company")
temp2=StrComp(temp1,NULL)
I have also tried it with
temp2=StrComp(temp1,"")
but each time i get nothing returned. Is there some rule about comparing a
string with an empty string?

View Replies View RelatedSearch Strings...
I have a search function on my site, and what happens at them moment is the user fills in a text box with their search string, and clicks submit. The search page takes their string, and splits it up where it sees " ".
All fairly simple, what I'd like is to allow the user to enter text in speechmarks, so the script would search for a couple of words together, as well as being able to search for every individual word...
Everyone confused yet?!
e.g If the user enters Dev Shed Forums , then the search would look for every occurance of the strings "Dev", "Shed" and "Forums"
What I want is for the user to be able to enter "Dev Shed" Forums, and the search will look for "Dev Shed" and "Forums"...

How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are

functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?
(Using escape(strPageTitle) fills the box with % signs...)

I am currently developing a registration application for the Boy Scouts. We have paper forms for those who choose not to use a computer to register. The paper forms have a box for each letter so that it is legible. how can i re-create the paper forms with ASP. For those who go online and register they need to print out the youths registration forms and I want them to look like the paper forms.
Now there are a few fields that are mutliple words so it would have to support spaces as well. Is there even a way to do this. I know it is going to be a pain for the good look it is going to be critical. I was thinking of using strings to simply seperate each letter and tell the script to simply repeat until. Is the right way?

I have no idea what either of them do or what they mean! I found them, they work, so I use them!
Could somebody let me know what these mean? My guess is that the longer string is better, simply because it tests more thoroughly, but I could be mistaken.
String1 = ""^([a-zA-Z0-9_-.]+)@(([[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9-]+.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(]?)$""
