Trimming A String
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?

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

7/4/2006 1:00:00 AM
I need to trim the seconds off so it looks like this

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.

Web 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.

How to convert it back to a string?

target = target & chr("&H" & mid(source,x,2))

Len(string)
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 would like to handle long memos differently from short ones. I'm starting out just by trying to write out the length of the string:
memo = RS("Idea_Note")
Response.Write Len(memo)
I can response.write the memo without trouble, but I get nothing for the length of the memo.
