I'm creating a website that will have a page that lists current news
items. The news items will be stored in a SQL Server database and will
have basically two fields, the date and the news blurb . . . On the
main page of the site, I want to have a box that shows "Current News"
and only pulls the first 7 or so words from the news blurb followed by
a ... [more] where [more] is a link to the current news page.
For example, the database entry may be something like this: Code:

I have a textarea, that when you insert your cursor into it anywhere except for in the very first line, the cursor falls into the second line. When the form is submitted there is a carriage return at the beginning of the text that I'm having trouble getting rid of.
I tried to Trim() the string both before inserting it into the database and when writing it to the page, but apparently that doesn't strip off carriage returns (even though I've read it does.)
i need to use the trim function trim("str","?"). How do i remove the "return sign" from a string?

I need to select records from table where right part of Field1 = strTest
the table looks like:
Field 1 Field2 Field3
5159-10 2 3
5159-20 6 9
LS5598-20 8 9
strTest=5159 or LS5598 doesn't matter
should be something like "select Field1 from tabTest where " & Right(Field1, 3) & " like " & strTest & "
Obviously I'm wrong somewhere, could anyone tell me where?
does anyone know if it's possible to crop whitespace regions from around the edges of an image using Imagemagick?
I have a whole bunch of signature images (as in, people's handwritten signatures) and I'd like to crop them so that there's no whitespace margin around them. I can do the cropping fine, it's just detecting the color regions.
I make a csv file with values from data base fields . If my value contains a carriage return caracter at the end, a new line is created in my csv file. I tried to replace chr(13) caracter by an empty caracter but it doesn't work, my code is:
Replace(Trim(element.value), chr(13),"")
Do you have any idea to resolve my problem?
I cannot figure out why this won't work, but I cannot get the trim() function to work for me. I tried this test code just to see if I could get anything:Code:
<%
String = "This is a string"
response.write String & "<br>"
Trimmed = Trim(String)
response.write Trimmed
And the results are both the same.This is a string.
Can anyone think of any good reason the Trim statement wouldn't be working I cannot think of any other common ASP function that isn't working for me.
its ok to use just
Trim(Request.Form("txtFromName"))
or to use both
rTrim(ltrim(Request.Form("txtFromName")))
Ok, I have this code:
For i = startCt To endCt
' Get the document title. If it's blank, set it to "Untitled".
Dim docTitle,path,desc
Dim tObj
Set tObj = results1(i)
docTitle = tObj("title")
path = tObj("vpath")
desc = tObj("desc")
.......
Now, results1 comes from the ms indexing server.
Problem with some of the results is the title is an empty string, so no link.
If I query the catalog in comp mgnmt, no problems.
So, indexing problem or something else.
I can use the path and get the doc name there if empty.
Also, does asp have a string.trim like .net? ....

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.

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:

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.
