Trimming Db Results
i don't know what to do here exactly.
i have seen the TRIM function, but i'm not sure if it's the right way to do it.
i have a recordset called RSUSEREDIT.
in the recordset there is a column called "EMail".
i can print out the results using Code:
<%=RSUSEREDIT("Email")%>
the email column always uses the same domain name... - username@domain.com
is it possible to remove the part after and including the "@"?
Trimming Commas
I'm dynamically building an SQL string to do an execute, and keep ending up with a leftover comma, so the string looks like this.
INSERT INTO Software ( Title, Version, Licensing, Total_Licenses, support_phone, support_email, Campuses_Licensed, Comments, support_web, FundingSource, Course_title, Subject, Grade_level, LocalExpert, ACTIVE, CATE, EntryDate,) VALUES ( 'Bob's Super Crappy Software', '4.3', 'labpack', '36', '555', '555', 'Alexander, Bilhartz, Central, Fairmeadows, Hyman, Daniel', 'James is testing this', 'www.bob.com', 'Campus PO', 'Math', 'Math', '4, 5, 6', 'Patrick Williams', '1', '0',)
Both commas are added dynamically and can be trimmed on the fly. I tried using RTRIM(strSQL, ",") but this didn't work.I put the fields into an array and tried to add only commas to all but the last entry, but that also didn't work.
Trimming Words
I have a database field that is a memo type. I would like to be able to only display the first 50 words from the database. I would like for it to show ..... after about 50 words.
I am using <%=Content %>. How do I trim this field to show only 50 words and then ....?
I tried the following code:
Function LengthTrim(input, length)
If Len(input) > length Then
Return Left(input, length) + "..."
Else
Return input
End If
End Function
then <%= LengthTrim(Content, 50) %>
But it would not work. I got the following error message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'Variable is undefined: 'Return' .
Trimming Filename
I am storing URL in a database for a 'sort of' directory type website.The <a href> is built from the recordset of URL's which is all working no problem, easy stuff.What I have found is going to be necessary in some cases is to trim the URL back to just it's www.abc.co.uk address for the link display.
I still want the actual link to go to it's long 'deep linking' location, but there is limited room for displaying a URL that could be a hundred chars long.
Trimming The Field
I have a section on my website that lets users to input their own username and password in order to enter the restricted area, but i notice that some of the users likes to use strange characters to use as their username or password.
how could I trim those strange characters ie. like the follow !@#$%^&*()'{}/?~ out of the input field, WITHOUT using the javascript because javascript can be disabled from the browser and by only using the ASP IF ELSEIF statements to do so?
Trimming Whitespace
I have an Access db of products which I'd like to use for creating dynamic urls. Each product has a range name which I intend to use to point to the folder containing the relevant image eg pine/001.jpg
My problem is one of the ranges has two names ie Indian Accessories. I can't have a url with a space in it so how can I dynamically alter the field so that it displays the url as either indianaccessories or indian-accessories?
Trimming A Variable.
I need to trim a variable to have everything after 4 chars in a string.
IE:

I cannot use:
var_new = right(var_temp,14)
because the string is a different length everytime.
I just dont know this function.

View Replies View RelatedDate Difference In Seconds
Basically I have 2 times:
timea = (date here) 12:00:00 PM
timeb = now()
and what i want to do is compare the difference in seconds between the two.
But I'm struggling and the thought has crossed my mind that DateDiff only works with dates not times...
Code:
<%
Dim DateToCompareTo
DateToCompareTo = 4/10/2005 1:00:00 PM
%>
There are <%= DateDiff("s", Now(), DateToCompareTo) %> seconds left %>!
Seconds To Date Format
I have a variable that returns a certain number of seconds. Is there a function that can format this into something more useful?
For example, if the variable returned is 32, then it would format it to say "32 seconds"
If the variable is 312, then it would return "5 minutes and 12 seconds"
If the variable was 7315 then it would return "2 hours, 1 minute, and 55 seconds"
And so on.

I'm having a problem with this code:
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="lastdate" value="<%=now%>">
not returning the "seconds" portion of time. It writes the date and time - but only to the minute. The seconds are 00 each time. Ex. 1/29/2005 1:47:23 PM is what I want and 1/29/2005 1:47:00 PM is what I'm getting.This is the result I'm getting on two separate DB's on two different servers. I'm sure there's some glaring problem I'm overlooking because I sure can't see it.
Converting Seconds To Minutes
I have a column in my Access db that stores a number which is supposed to be seconds. How can I convert the seconds to display mm:ss on my ASP page? For instance, if the number in the db is 300, I want it to display 5:00 on my page.
Now these are lengths of time, not current time (AM or PM), so I dont want it to display the AM or PM. I've tried format(rs("length"), "nn:ss") and that didnt work. Matter of fact Format(), FormatDateTime(), and FormatNumber() doesnt work on my page. I've been getting the 800a000d Type Mismatch error. What am I doing wrong? Code:

Delay, Sleep For 8 Seconds
What is the best way to do an ASP/sleep for 8 seconds (pause script for 8 seconds)? I have tried the following:
EndTime = Now() + (8 / (24 * 60* 60)) '8 seconds
Do While Now() < EndTime
'Do nothing

But unfortunately that keeps the CPU at 100% for that time. I need something that doesn't impact the CPU, as this delay will be in a while loop that will execute continuously for a few days.
