How can I exclude non-alphabetic characters from the string?
(all characters except A-Z, 0-9 and space, including -.,? etc)
What I mean is:
"Am I mad?" should produce "Am I mad"
or
"Left-Right" should produce "LeftRight"
<%For iloop = ASC("A") to ASC("Z")
str = str & "<td class='alphabet' width='569' align='middle'><a href=" & chr(34) & "templatePage.asp?letter=" & chr(iloop) & chr(34) & ">" & chr(iloop) & "</a></td>"
Next%>
<%=Left(str,Len(str))%>
i need a '#' before the 'A' to bring up everything else, like in
the members page of this Forum.
I'm working on a list of members.In my db I have two columns lastName and marriedName

lastName, marriedName
Anderson, Johnson
Petersson, Svensson
Nilsson, Persson
Lindgren, Johnson
I want this result:
Anderson
Johnson (look for Andersson)
Johnson(look for Lindgren)
Nilsson
Persson(look for Nilsson)
Petersson
Svensson(look for Petersson)
I have an online store with about 35,000 products in my database and no matter if you are listing all products in a catagory or viewing search results - all products are displayed in alphabetical order.
My problem is that some of my products start with the word "The" or "A" as the title - so they appear in alphabetical order under the letter "T" or "A". How do I get these items to appear in alphabetical order under the second word but still retain "The" or "A" as the first word of the title?
In other words - having "The World" appear alphabetically under "W" and "A Car" appear under "C" but keeping "The" and "A" as the first words.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know a fair bit about ASP/mySQL programming but just can't quite figure this one out.
I have an Access Database with only one table (tblBooks) with 5 fields: id, TestNumber, Book, Author, ReadingLevel, PointValue. I would like to have alphabetical listing of the records displayed by hyperlinks on the top of the page like:
<Previous All | A | B | C | ....| Y | Z | Others Next>
Also would like to have only 25 records per page and bottom page numbering. I know this is a newbie question but I haven't being able to figure it out.
I've got an array with the following values:
myarray(0) = btest
myarray(1) = htest
myarray(2) = atest
myarray(3) = gtest
How do i put them in alphabetical order?
myarray(0) = atest
myarray(1) = btest
myarray(2) = gtest
myarray(3) = htest
Say I have a DB with 10,000 records and using MySQL paging. I want to put a link setup at the top of the page with the alphabet that will pop to the proper page for each of the letters.
So: 1 A B C D...
Click on 1, goes to page 1, click on A goes to page 7, click on B goes to page 10.. so on so forth. how to find the pages either through an SQL subquery or through ASP. I can write code to make it happen, but I'm looking for a solution that will not hamper performance as much as an array dump and search.
I want to create a page that uses a horizontal alphabetical index such as
a b c .....
so when the user clicks on a letter they go to that section listing the manufacturer names beginning with that letter.
My question is that since I am pulling the names from a database, what is the best way to create the sections for each letter? My first thought is a basic and overkill solution creating a record set for each letter. Would I use arrays?
I know I could just create a separate page for each letter to display the corresponding entries. Would rather have one page at this time.
Anyone in here got an idea how i could limit the display on on a paragraph to 50 characters? because everytime I access the database it would show up the entire paragraph.

I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters. If I run the select statement in Query Analyzer, I can easily change the "Maximum Characters per Column" setting to return the entire field, but that doesn't help me in my ASP web interface. How do I return the entire field through ASP?

to display only a part of the record retrieved from database.
I have retrieve data from database and I show it in normal way <% = oRs(0)%>, the problem is that I want to show only 100 first characters and then make some thing like this … after 100 first character. In this way all the data retrieved would look the same in the page.
One of our offices in AD is called "Albert St", the OU is called "Albert St", but when I retrieve the value out of the list box it becomes "Albert" and throws errors as it cant find the "Albert" OU. Not surprising, really. I am going to try type casting, but beyond that
View Replies View RelatedI have a wee lil problem when I am inserting data into my db from my asp page.
The problem is that it is inserting unwanted characters with the values.
I have used the following to try and remove the unwanted characters but to no avail:
Code:
varRootCause = CStr(Replace(Request.form("txtRootCause"), "'", ""))
rsUsers.Fields("RootCause") = trim(varRootCause)
The above gives me this: Quality of service,
The comma at the end should not be there.
I have a variable I'm pulling from a database that's a phone number in XXX-XXX-XXXX format. What I'm looking for is a way to strip out all non-numeric characters from the variable (XXXXXXXXXX). I don't want it to look only for "-", since sometimes, there are also alpha characters entered as well.

I only want to show the first 200 characters of the field though, how would I modify this code to do just that?
SQL = SQL + " instr( 1, lcase( description ), lcase( '" + aKeywords(i) + "' ), 1 ) > 0"
I thought it would have been something like:
SQL = SQL + " (left(instr( 1, lcase( description ), lcase( '" + aKeywords(i) + "' ), 1 ), 200) > 0"
I am currently building a website and in one of the pages, it is to return Immediate, Extended, Standdown instead of 1.Immediate, 2.Extended, 3.Standdown(in the Ms Access). I am wondering if there is any quote to help me not display the first 2 characters(eg 1.) but just the 3rd character onwards.

But when I use keywords without any special character its works fine.

I have a database with names, lastnames which has special characters to be seen (10-15 of them), for example: "{" has to be "š". I emphasize - those characters are not to be replaced in the database, but just to be replaced when go to the screen.Is the only way to do that function replace in the user function that has to be made?
I have to say that I have to make the similar function for data entry - input also, which has to replace those characters before - for example search.
