Strip Characters
I have an ASP page which has a form for user to input some information and it gets stored in an Access database. The problem i am having is when a person enters a name with a special character, like Macy's, it gives a Jet database error.
What i am looking for is for a way to remove special characters from the form field in question, like apostrophes, when they tab to the next field. So if they input Macy's, when they go to the next field the previous field gets updated to Macys instead.

I'm using XMLHTTP to perform a simple screen scraping job.
When I try to have it "scrape" lines with embeded CSS declarations, it
renders them incorrectly, stripping the leading period. Consequently, my CSS
doesn't work.Here's how I'm calling it, but I don't think my implementation is the
problem.
Dim srvXmlHttp
Set srvXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
srvXmlHttp.open "GET", TearURL, false
srvXmlHttp.send()
If srvXmlHttp.status <> 200 Then
Response.Write "No Server Response"
Response.End
End If
Dim strRetval5
strRetval5 = srvXmlHttp.responseText

How can I strip the time part from the Now()?

We have an unusual situation at the USC School of Medicine; we have to
covert every Web page to a template. The template is too wide to print and a
lot of our students print lectures, notes, etc. We thought we could keep to
the template and draw in the content from other files by using includes. BUT
these files are HTML files and therefore, have Body commands in them. If
this could work, we could put a printable link back to the other page and it
would print. Seems like a great solution except for the extra body commands.
We are using ASP for our scripting.
1. How much of a boondoggle will it be if the files have two body commands
in them. How many browsers would it break?
2. Is there a scripting way around this without creating some objects?
3. Is there something out there -- shareware or commercial -- that would fix
this problem.
4. Could something be done about this using pearl, for example?
We'd really like to do it this way because we can have the users create the
content, use the same file names all the time, thus overwriting the old
file, and the user would never get a chance to screw up the template.

Could someone help me work out out a way to either convert a smalldatetime
value from my database(access) to a normal date with out the trailing time.
Is it simple matter of using FormatDate or does one need to do string
maniupulation?

I think a regular expression maybe the solution to the problem I have. My problem is I am pulling a list from a database which I want to list alphabetically. The problem is, the records are stored with a number before them:
eg."762348 - RecordA" --> So I want just the "RecordA" bit so I can list alphabetically.
What I want to do is strip off everything at the beginning up to the first Alphabetic character. Is a regular expression the way to go?

I have been trying to figure out how to get a function to strip html tags from part of an html file. The way I need it achieved is as so: Code:
<% strOutput = stripHTML("<!--#include file=includes/MyInclude.asp-->") %>
The included file is html-rich, and if included in default.asp, it displays as such. However, as I am attempting to make my website accessible, I wish to be able to strip out the html tags on the included page dynamically.
I have used the following function (and have called it with the above statement) but am getting an error in my functions.asp file: Unexpected quantifier. This is on the line that states Code:

I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters. If I run the select statement in Query Analyzer, I can easily change the "Maximum Characters per Column" setting to return the entire field, but that doesn't help me in my ASP web interface. How do I return the entire field through ASP?

What I am trying to do could be simple but I have no idea how to it. I am trying
to display only a part of the record retrieved from database.
I have retrieve data from database and I show it in normal way <% = oRs(0)%>, the problem is that I want to show only 100 first characters and then make some thing like this … after 100 first character. In this way all the data retrieved would look the same in the page.

I have a wee lil problem when I am inserting data into my db from my asp page.
The problem is that it is inserting unwanted characters with the values.
I have used the following to try and remove the unwanted characters but to no avail:
Code:
varRootCause = CStr(Replace(Request.form("txtRootCause"), "'", ""))
rsUsers.Fields("RootCause") = trim(varRootCause)
The above gives me this: Quality of service,
The comma at the end should not be there.

I have a SQL statement to retreive results based on keywords entered
I only want to show the first 200 characters of the field though, how would I modify this code to do just that?
SQL = SQL + " instr( 1, lcase( description ), lcase( '" + aKeywords(i) + "' ), 1 ) > 0"
I thought it would have been something like:
SQL = SQL + " (left(instr( 1, lcase( description ), lcase( '" + aKeywords(i) + "' ), 1 ), 200) > 0"

Now whenever I Select an Industry name like IT - Software, FMCG/Foods/Beverages(i.e with special characters) etc. i get an error message Code:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '/'.
here is the code where I am getting the error
Code:
strSQL = "sp_getsearchvacancy " & sind & "," & sexper & "," & currentPage & "," & iRecordsPerPage
objRS.Open strSQL, objConn
this is same for every keyword having special characters like / , - and even space
But when I use keywords without any special character its works fine.

I have a database with names, lastnames which has special characters to be seen (10-15 of them), for example: "{" has to be "š". I emphasize - those characters are not to be replaced in the database, but just to be replaced when go to the screen.Is the only way to do that function replace in the user function that has to be made?
I have to say that I have to make the similar function for data entry - input also, which has to replace those characters before - for example search.
