Does anyone know of a function (preferably already made) that would replace a string starting from it's start position to it's end position with a specific string...
so like have four parameters:
(StringToSearch, ReplaceString, WhereToStartReplacing, WhereToEndReplacing)
For example:
The text to be searched is the following:
Text 1:
Hello world! what a nice day today. But I like to sit in front of computer and doing some web design. Now I have encountered some technical problems and would like to get some helps from the experts.
Text 2:
I like fishing.
Text 3:
Baseball season is over.
Text 4:
The winter snow storm is coming.
Search Keyword: snow.
Search result is Text 4
Search Keyword: I
Search result is Text1 and Text2
At the end, the key word should highlighted with a different color in the paragraph.
How would I do about this?
If I replace "a" with "b", and then I replace "b" with "a", shouldn't I get the same result? That is what I am trying to encode and decode with Replace() function, but it is giving me different things when I replace and replace again. Here is what I am talking about: Code:
View Replies View RelatedI've tried EVERY way i can think of to do this replace function, basically when i go to insert "Do's and Dont's into the database it cuts it off at "Do" because of the ' now ill show you my section of code that i have it in currently:
curdescription = trim(replace(arrTemp(4), "'", "''"))
I have it this way and it doesnt work, and i even had it
curdescription = trim(arrTemp(4))
curdescription = replace(curdescription, "'", "''")
I'm trying to use the replace function to change a variable ie like this:-
replace folder_old, txtOldFoldername,folder_rename
folder_old = c:DocumentsRoot_Testob
txtOldFoldername = bob
folder_rename = newfoldername
all i want to do is to beable to change the name bob to the new folder, is there a easier way to do this or am I on the right track. if i do the replace like this replace(folder_old, " & txtOldFoldername & "," & folder_rename & ")
i get this error:-

I want a replace function which replaces all double quotes with single quotes.

i am new to asp and i am having problems using the replace() function to replace occurrences of text in a string.basically what i want to do is replace any occurrences of a double quote (") in a string with "
the code i am using looks like this:
set overview=replace(overview,"""",""")
but when i run load the page i get the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: '[string: "A 13 year old girl p"]'
/ASP/index.asp, line 58
did i get the syntax wrong? i figured that if i was looking for a single quote that i just had to put an escaped double quote "" inside of the quotes.
I am trying to make the user input form more secure and so I want to use this piece of code
[vbs]Replace(strInput, "'", "''")[/vbs]
but my sql query (which already works) looks like this

(ServiceName, Bor_ID, Address, Postcode, Tube, Rail, Bus, Parking,
Tel, Fax, Minicom, Email, Contact, Opening, Eligibility, Access,
OtherFacil, Special, Internet, Other, Cat_ID, URI_ID, Db_ID, Des_ID, Main_ID)
values ('" & Request.Form("ServiceName") & "','" & Request.Form("Borough") & "','" & Request.Form("Address") & "','" & Request.Form("Postcode") & "','" ...[/vbs]
How am I best to implement the code? I tried to do this
[vbs]& Replace(Request.Form("ServiceName"), "'", "''") &[/vbs]
in the actual sql query but I got this error
[vbs]Data type mismatch in criteria expression. [/vbs]
How is it best to do this?
I have searched so many "Replace" function topics, but there is something that I don't understand....I found some like this... Replace(strField, " ' ", " ' ' ") .... do anyone knows what's the use of replacing ' with ' ' ?
View Replies View RelatedI need help with this one line of code that im having trouble putting together.
[VBS]<%= Replace(Recordset.Fields.Item("MyField").Value,"<" "& lt")%>[/VBS]
this allows me to display raw code on a page that is entered into an Access memo field. Trouble is it all comes out in one line, so i tried adding a [VBS]VbClRf, "<BR>"[/VBS] to it and am getting string errors. Ive tried a few variations and it's really bugging me.

Code:
ln = Trim(getLive("liveName"))
ln = replace(ln, "'", "''")

ln = replace(ln, "=", chr(61))
ln = replace(ln, "_", chr(95))
ln = Replace(ln, "../", chr(46)&chr(46)&chr(47))
ln = Replace(ln, "--", chr(45)&chr(45))
ln = Replace(ln, ";", chr(59))
I have the above code... is the bit where I am replacing "../" valid or can I get rid of the "&"? Can't test it at the moment so that's why I am asking here.
I seem to end up with too many double quotes when using this clean up function.. either that or I am missing a display function when I display the details from the dB.
My function
Code:
Function CleanFormFields(FieldString)
FieldString = Replace(FieldString, "�", "'")
FieldString = Replace(FieldString, "�", """""")
FieldString = Replace(FieldString, "�", """""")
FieldString = Replace(FieldString,"""","""""")
FieldString = Replace(FieldString, "'", "''")
FieldString = Trim(FieldString)
CleanFormFields = FieldString
End Function
I only really wanted the microsoft ouble quote to become one set of double quote instead of double as I have here but I can't get away with anything less.
essentially when I input a � I get a "" when I only want ".
Can the replace() function in asp be used on an excel spreadsheet? I can't seem to find out anywhere, and I can't just test and see because my connection string keeps throwing Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x664 Thread 0x19b8 DBC 0xebb6e6c Excel' . (but thats another story/future post perhaps ) I pretty much just need to know if replace() will work.
I have this piece of code in an ASP page: replace (strRootDir, "", "/", -1) When I run the script I get:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0414)
Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub
II remove the parenthese then I get:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0401)
Expected end of statement
Everthing that I found on the web (and in Studio help) indicates that "REPLACE (String, ToFind, With, Count)" is correct. What am I doing wrong?
I try to use the replace function with a very long text and I have this error :
error '80020009'

Do you have any idee to resolve this problem ?
I use a replace char function to remove any bad words from user's input to prevent SQL injection. Here is what I use:
Function killChars(strWords)
Dim badChars, newChars
badChars = Array("bad words here")
newChars = strwords
For i=0 to uBound(badChars)
newChars = replace(newChars, badChars(i), "")
next
killChars=newChars
End function
Now the problem is if a user enter "DeLETe" in the input box, and this word is not get removed before entering the DB. because I entered "delete" in the badchars array.
so how can I enable a case sensitive in my function? So the bad words would get deleted regardless its in upper or lower case?

View Replies View RelatedIn the ASP page that is in question, I build a large string (no more

I need to insert field data with apostrophes into Access. However, I keep getting "object expected" errors when I post. I heard about using the replace function like this:
var incidentlocation = Replace(Request.Form("incidentlocation"), "'", "''");
but I get the "object expected" error. What I am doing wrong? My code is below in the text file.
I just realized that when I do a replace:
replace(rs("IMAGE"),".jpg","")
it replaces all instances of a lower case .jpg but not the upper case
..JPG
How can I fix this?

View Replies View RelatedI have an asp form that customers use to place orders with us. As I'm sure alot of you are in the habbit of hitting the enter button when you are filling out forms instead of the TAB button (I'm this person also) and having it submit the data before you are done.
Is there a way to use the "enter key" to advance to the next form box ?
I have an Access db with a table which contains some fields. I have also created a page in which I have created a form with textfields, listmenus, radio buttons and checkboxes.
I would like to pass the values from the form in another asp page in which I will retrieve the records according to the selections made in the form.
If I select all the form fields it works great but if I want to select
only two or one field I get nothing. That is because in the SELECT code I have used AND...AND.... Is it possible with if statements to avoid this problem?
I need to make a form in which if the user selects 'NO' on a radiobutton, that the form will take him 4 or 5 questions down...and if possible maybe disable the ones it skipped?
