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.
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 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.
Code:
StartTime = FormatDateTime((rs("startdate")),3)
this returns
7/4/2006 1:00:00 AM
I need to trim the seconds off so it looks like this
7/4/2006 1:00 AM
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?
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.
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?

Any ideas of why this happens and how to get it to work correctly?

I have a form on asp page that pulls info from a DB when the page loads.
It them puts the info into text boxes on the page that are editable by the
user.
The only problem I have is say in the description text box it should
read "HP Laserjet 5Si" , it always cuts the text off where it just says "HP"
.. It does this on all the text boxes? I can't seem to figure out why it
is doing it. Here is the sample code:
With quotes around <%= vdesc%>
<td><input name="desc" type="text" id="desc" size="45" value="<%=
vdesc%>"></td>
And I tried it without.
I have text in a field coming from a database. The text has various
forms such as:
text1
text1 or text2
text1 or text2 or text3
text1; or text2
text1; or text2; or text3
etc...
how can I parse this with a reg ex? I tried this:
(.+);? or
but it only captures 1 submatch (text1) and only if theres an "or"
after it
I'd like to get 1 submatch for each piece of text separated by the
"or", just the text itself if there is no or.
Anyone know how to do it?
