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 Seconds
Code:
StartTime = FormatDateTime((rs("startdate")),3)

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:
var_temp = 200:16:1234567890
i want everything after 200: to be a variable.
I cannot use:
var_new = right(var_temp,14)
because the string is a different length everytime.
I just dont know this function.

i am retrieving a record from the database, I am trying to place the value of the FULLNAME field in a textbox on a Form, the Problem is that it only displays half of the name leaving out the stuff that comes after a SPACE.
Example:
adors("fullname").value <--- Actual Value is John Smith
but it only displays John
Code:
<INPUT id=text1 readonly name=txtfullname value=<%=adors("fullname").value%>>
but if I try to just response.write it anywhere on the page then it displays the entire name.
Combining 2 Sql Strings
I have 2 SQL strings:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
And
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID
ORDER BY editie desc
Now I want to combine those 2 to one string.
I have problems to set it up in working order.
My tryout:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID &
" & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
It shows al the records which are joined, only the second string " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " is not working.
Placing Strings Onto Url
I found out a really nice way to keep things on the same page is for any processing page to add on a "?<something>=<something>"
and then just check to see what the something is equal to, and the number represents what you want the front page to show.
However, this <something> shows up on the url listing in a browser. Is there anyway to .. encode it so no one can see it? Like a encode/decode function?

I'm building a forum, and right now i'm creating the ability to edit posts. As part of this i want to add the usual "Edited by UserName on Date" line at the bottom, but am having problems doing so.

Connection Strings
I am developing a website and it's going fine, but i've heard that you shouldn't have your database in the wwwroot, it should be outside/above that.
I've done this (i'm using Dreamweaver MX) so I moved the db, fixed my odbc/dsn, connection string etc, but when I upload now I get this error.
Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80004005'
'C:Program FilesEnsimSiteDatawebpplianceconfdomainsInet pubwwwrootTesting_SiteDatabasesTesting_Website _DataSource.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. /Testing_Site/default.asp, line 8
This is line 8: Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_TestingConnection_STRING
Is there something that I have missed. It was ok when it was in the wwwroot.
Comparing Strings
i am having a problem with comparing two strings. I am taking
in the parameter rs("Company") and if this is empty i want to put some
text in there. I am testing it with an empty Company field and comparing
it like so:
temp1=rs("Company")
temp2=StrComp(temp1,NULL)
I have also tried it with
temp2=StrComp(temp1,"")
but each time i get nothing returned. Is there some rule about comparing a
string with an empty string?

View Replies View RelatedSearch Strings...
I have a search function on my site, and what happens at them moment is the user fills in a text box with their search string, and clicks submit. The search page takes their string, and splits it up where it sees " ".
All fairly simple, what I'd like is to allow the user to enter text in speechmarks, so the script would search for a couple of words together, as well as being able to search for every individual word...
Everyone confused yet?!
e.g If the user enters Dev Shed Forums , then the search would look for every occurance of the strings "Dev", "Shed" and "Forums"
What I want is for the user to be able to enter "Dev Shed" Forums, and the search will look for "Dev Shed" and "Forums"...

How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are

Unfortunaly it does not UnCode the string back so that I can show it to the user. I know I could use the replace function but I wont replace all chars, there are many from this type. What can I do?
