Replace Function
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 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(34), chr(34))
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 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?

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've got a function that I use to replace ' marks so the page will insert properly into a database - typically I use .Code:
whatever= request.form("whatever")
whatever = replace(whatever,"'", "''")
However, I've got some code that I unfortunately inherited from someone else that I can't get the replace to work:Code:
call buildquery (colq,valq,retq,"whatever")
colq = "(" & colq & ")"
valq = "(" & valq & ")"
ssql = "insert into table_name " & colq & " values " & valq
I was trying to do something in the call buildquery line to add a replace, but that doesn't seem to work.

I come across this often
PHP Code:
Replace(rs.fields("Headline_f"),"''","'")
Where rs.fields("Headline_f") is actually empty.
I usually use
PHP Code:
IF NOT isNull(rs.fields("Headline_f")) or rs.fields("Headline_f") = "" THEN
Headline_f=Replace(rs.fields("Headline_f"),"''","'")
END IF
Is there a better way to handle this?
