Random ASCII Characters
I am doing a reskin of an ASP site, MS SQL in the back end. I made a copy of the site and DB and am using them as my development site. Fine so far, but here's where it gets wierd. I am getting random ASCII characters throughout my text, not totaly random, for example a double quote will come back as ’. So they're consistant. This is both for data in a file, and data from the DB, but I'm fairly certain all of it is qwritten with Response.Write.
These two sites are in identical environments, on the same server, using the same DB (well a copy of one anyway)
Remove Non-ascii Characters
I use ASP, but i dont think it matters. I am parsing large text files. some of them have non standard characters. I just want to parse a file and replace anything that is not found on a keyboard in usa. I just want to keep:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, .,?'"!@#$%^&*()-_=+";:<>/|}{[]`~
everything else i want to remove (asian letters, wacky characters, etc)
Splitting String Containing Non Ascii Characters
I have these strings which are pulled from a database which contains both
english and chinese characters(big5).
e.g.
Fragrant Rice 10kg Green Dragon?
Broken Rice 10kg G.Elephant?
I want to split the string at the first occurance of the non ascii character so that i can get the english and chinese parts separated.
Converting/stripping Non-ASCII Characters
I'm trying to catch some characters in a string before they are entered into a database that are not ASCII and convert them to ASCII characters. The characters in question are the angular double quotes but this could be associated with similar occurences. I want to check for left angular double quotes [“] or right angular double quotes [“] and replace them with straight double quotes ["].
(I'm not actually storing the HTML equivalents - they are simply there to give you an idea of which characters I'm on about.)a way of catching these buggers? I've tried using chr(8220) (the numeric code for one of the illegal characters apparently) but ASP has a problem working with numbers outside the character map.
Non US-ASCII Chaacters
I need to replace all non US-ASCII characters. What is the easiest way to do this?
sample code would be great.
"The PayPal website only accepts US-ASCII and 7 non-ASCII German characters. The 7 characters are ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü, and ß."

Returning Only 255 Characters
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.

How do I return the entire field through ASP?

I 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.
