I know there is a way of stripping out special characters from a string however I need a way of stripping out "" marks from a string or what i really want is to replace all double ("") marks in a string with single ('') marks before inserting the string into a database. Is there a way of doing this in ASP?
View RepliesI'm trying to strip out none alphanumeric characters (and a couple of punctuation marks) from a string before inserting into a database.
I've put in my code below, basically I thought I'd loop through each character in turn and pass it through a regular expression to check its validity. If it passes I'll add it to a global variable ('validString') if it fails I'll remove it.
But I can't get my Mid() function to accept 'i' as a value so it won't loop. Code:
a small code snippet that will strip the /n from a string?
View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to catch some characters in a string before they are entered into a database that are not ASCII and convert them to ASCII characters. The characters in question are the angular double quotes but this could be associated with similar occurences. I want to check for left angular double quotes [“] or right angular double quotes [“] and replace them with straight double quotes ["].
(I'm not actually storing the HTML equivalents - they are simply there to give you an idea of which characters I'm on about.)a way of catching these buggers? I've tried using chr(8220) (the numeric code for one of the illegal characters apparently) but ASP has a problem working with numbers outside the character map.
how to take a string and output it such that the last 4 characters are removed (.txt, .pdf, .doc, etc.)
View Replies View RelatedHow would you get the first two characters out of a string variable to make an asp:label respond a certain way. For example:
The string is "F112345678995" I would like to pull the "F1" out so that an asp label will respond "No match".
Is this as clear as mud?? If you need further clarification let me know. Also can you use a trim statement like in VB?
I have several isbn's that are eather 10 or 12 charcters long. I need
to insert a dot . after the fifth character if it is 10 long, and
after the 6th character if it is 12 long. How do I count through the
string and find out if it is 10 or 12 charaters long, then insert the
dot . after the first 5 if it's 10, or after the first 6 if it's 12?
In PHP I'd use the following line:
$parsedfilename = substr($parsedfilename, -4);
But I can't find the same way to do it in vbscript using ASP!
I simply want to strip the last four characters, but leave the rest of the string in tact! As the string could be any length, I don't know a start position.
Surely it's simple and I'm missing something?
I have this bit of code that stores the current web page address in a Session variable. I want to always remove the last four characters, such as E.asp, or G.asp, or I.asp.
I searched tutorials on string manipulation but all seem to take out a string in the middle of a string and replace it with something. I just want the last 4 characters removed.
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.

initially thought it was 256, but after some testing it seems that it can
hold much more than that..

I'm querying a text field with an 8000 character limit. The text also
contains HTML tags like <p> <br> and more. Is there a way to strip all HTML
tags in the resulting recordset, or do I have to replace each tag
individually?
I have an asp page that reads the contents of a database and creates an xml news feed. I have code that strips out the <BR> and <P></P> tags, but it looks one of the databases I'm trying to read from uses only <P> without the closing tag.
So the make a long story short, I can't figure out what to add to my code to strip out these tags (or if that isn't the problem at all!) Code:

I'm developing an Asp.NET system to take a CSV file uploaded via the web, parse it, and insert the values into an SQL database. My sticking point comes when I try to split() the string returned by readline() on the file.
The following code snippet works for me:
tokens = "one,two,three,four".Split(",")
for each token in tokens
response.write("<td>"+token+"</td>")
next
However, if I take the next line in the CSV, read using StreamReader.ReadLine on the PostedFile.InputStream, I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which I have narrowed down to be my string holding the line. Further investigation reveals that no other string member functions work on my line (.ToCharArray, .ToString, etc).
I suspect that StreamReader.ReadLine is not correctly returning a string, even though Response.Write(line) displays what I would expect .....
I have a form in which several elements are expected to be all digits. Some of those elements can be left empty, but if specified they must be all digits. I have this Sub to edit them: ....

How do I return the entire field through ASP?
