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' .
I know that trim removes white space and the LTrim and R trim removes space from the left or right but how would i trim a string after 20 characters so that i could add ... to the end of the new trimmed string???
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 "@"?
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.
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.
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?
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?
Someone should write a book Javascript for VBScript Programmers. I can't seem to find a native function in Javascript to trim a string. Is there one or does anyone have one handy?
i have a search page results what i want to do is trim the result to 100 chars either side of the matched word but say if the word is at the start or end just to trim 100 chars left or right. does anyone have a function that will do this ?
I am trying to make a search page. Once a serach word or words is put in I need it to serach multiple product tables and output the description of any prioduct if the search word is present in the description.

let's say that I want to highlight some words or even a square of a table in yellow...how would i go about doing that? What code would work to do what I need?
I'm having a problem in displaying a selected option from the drop down list in words. But after I selected an option, nothing is being displayed, I think the value can't be passed at all. Please let me know how to fix it.
<td align=center width=20%>Fruit: <select name=""FruitName"> <% " If not myRS.eof Then while not myRS.eof %> <option value="<%=myRS.fields("ID")%>"<%If FId = myRS.fields("ID") Then response.write "selected"%>><%=myRS.fields("FName")%></option> <% myRS.MoveNext wend %> </select>
<p>The fruit you have selected is <%=FruitName%></p>
i am having trouble getting my REPLACE fn. to replace whole words only. basically, i'm running a 'spelling checker' fn. that uses the REPLACE fn. to find incorrect spellings and replace them. problem is, the fn. seems to replace all instances of a string, and not a whole word only as I intend it to be:
Code as follows:
StrInput = Request.Form("BKM_Search") StrInput = LCase(StrInput) 'convert all to lowercase StrInput = Trim(StrInput)'trim all empty space b4 & after string StrCorrect = Replace(a_StrWrong, a_StrRight,1,1,1)
Let's say I want to replace the word "sea" with "ZZZ" only:
Example input: "Sean has some neat sea shells" Example output: "ZZZn has some neat ZZZ shells"
I have to develop a spell checker from scratch using asp language. as i'm a newbie with asp, there are still a lot of things that i don't understand. How can I add new words to my list of dictionary sorted alpabetically?
Do i need to use the database for this function? Can anyone show me? or if anyone knows of any websites that i can refer to.
strTemp="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed"
and I am searching the string for another string 'amet', for example. How would I go about getting my page to output the word I search for and say 10 chars to the left and 10 to the right? So, in this case, I'd like to be be able to search the string with any other string ['amet' for example] and have it output this:
wondering if its possible to have some kind of searched word highlight! IE. every thing it throws up in return of search it will highlight why it has brought it up! so if search "a" all "a" in return results would be highlighted.
is it possible (i heard u can replace) to filter out bad words using regexp? I'm using Replace() but it sucks without ALOT of extra code... but using regexp it seems better, with ignorecase, etc.
how can i count how many words have i written in a text area?Like taking an example ... i am writing in this textarea of microsoft usergroup. and say in total i have written 50 words .. how can find out this information?
I retrieved some data from the database and put it in a textbox but the words after the blank sapace cannot be shown, why is that? Name = rs("requestor") 'where the name is "Sam Siew"
how to capitalise all words in a string that are seperated by spaces. The string is variable and not the same every time hence I cant use the Ucase function as I wont know the exact position of the start of each word.
I would like to have a text box where people can type a word they want and then click on a button to get the description of that word.The way I see it working is if the word they entered in the box is in my database a page will display the meaning corresponding to the word in the database. However if it is not then it will display a message telling them that.
This code highlights words entirely. I look for the word nation it highlights words like abomination. So I only want the function to highlight whatever I'm looking for. Code:
i have a form where the user keys in words to be searched from the itemDescription column in the database. My search works fine, but how to i bold that particular searched word?
