Striping HTML Tags From String, But Leaving Paragraph Formatting
I have a string of HTML (used for a specific purpose) that I'd like to
use somewhere else but as plain text. Rather than introduce a
specifically created plain text version I'd like to strip the tags code
from the HTML version. This in itself is easy, using a function such
as:
Function HTMLDecode(Expression)
Dim sTemp
sTemp = Expression
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, ">", ">", , , 1)
sTemp = Replace(sTemp, "<", "<", , , 1)
'Repeat for each defined entity
HTMLDecode = sTemp
End Function
However, the difficulty comes when trying keep each paragraph seperate.
For example, the string "this is<p>my name" shows on screen as:
this is
my name
if I use the above function, it strips out the <p> tag and shows the
result on one line:
this is my name
I thought I could use something like:
str = replace(str, "<p>", chr(10))
but that doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help me replace <br> and <p>
tags with something that's recognised as "plain" text but will keep the
paragraphs and new lines formatted correctly??
Format Paragraph
I've had some excellent help before on this forum and hoping for some more.
This is probably very basicbut I'm kind of muddling along a bit and it's a miracle I got so far.I have a memo text field in a table form and I'm wanting to enter text into it but all a small amount of formatting. Just basic paragraph breaks would be a start. This is kind of following on from a previous post of mine where I was trying to include line breaks. This was the solution.
Code:
<textarea name=whatever WRAP="HARD">

Paragraph Finder
I have a query about ASP with Javascript, I am trying to automate a form whereby when you type in some text in a form and hit the return key on your keyboard the asp/javascript places a <p> html marker in that paragraph space so when you hit the submit button the text is display correctly, i.e. the paragraphs are displayed and the text does not come out in one block. I have created a very simple form and button using ASP/VbScript and it works. For some reason I cannot work out how to do this with ASP/Javascript. This is so when in future all text is sent to a database we do not have to input the <p> markers manually. Obviously there is more to this, like connecting to a database to drag the text off first, but the code I have created is merely for testing purposes first.
here is my ASP/VBScript code below: ...

Paragraph Breaks In Forms
I am building a small CMS for my son's school. Ideally I want to build the system for them and hand it over so that all updates can be done through web-based forms.
So far so good. However I'm having a problem with fields designed to take multi-paragraph stories or articles. I'm using a text area field on the form which saves the data in a memo field in the database. Teachers would typically cut and paste stories from word documents into the text area field.
However when the data is loaded back into the website from the database all the carriage returns have been removed and the story consists of one long paragraph.
Textarea Paragraph Breaks
I have a form with a textarea input. The form then stores the text in a database. I want that text to be written to a web page (not a textarea).
Well if I don't put a <p> in between paragraphs, of course the paragraph breaks don't show up on the web page. How can I make it, so when I hit return in the text area, a paragraph break shows up in the asp page?

Problem Stripping Paragraph Tags
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.

Response.Write Into Paragraph Form?
I have a scrolling text box where people input a list of information, using the <ENTER> key between lines.
The submit button transfers this information into the Access DB into a memo field.

What better way is there to do this so my line breaks are intact?

View Replies View RelatedWeb Forms / HTTP File Upload / String.Split A StreamReader.ReadLine() String
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 .....

ADO LIKE 'string'
I am trying to search my access database for a string using LIKE and a wildcard.
Example:
Code:
Dim con
con = "SELECT names.* WHERE name LIKE 'sam*'"
For some reason this gives me no results even though I verified there is entries with the word sam in them.
Also tried using % instead of *. Also took out wildcard. I can search for an integer without a problem though, when I try a string, regardless if there's relevant entries I get nothing back at all.

Hex To String
converting string to hex like so:
for x = 1 to len(source)
target = target & hex(ascw(mid(source,x,1)))

How to convert it back to a string?
I got as far as:

target = target & chr("&H" & mid(source,x,2))
next
but this fails with the pound sign (£ - £)

This seems like it should be so simple. I would like to create a conditional statement based on the length of a string. The string is a memo field from an Access database.

I can response.write the memo without trouble, but I get nothing for the length of the memo.

As an example, can someone create the most basic code necessary to build a web page that does the following:

b) Loop through the records in the [Shippers] table and paste the values in a HTML table (using SELECT * FROM SHIPPERS)

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) & ")"
