i am having trouble getting my REPLACE fn. to replace whole words only. basically, i'm running a 'spelling checker' fn. that uses the REPLACE fn. to find incorrect spellings and replace them. problem is, the fn. seems to replace all instances of a string, and not a whole word only as I intend it to be:
Code as follows:
StrInput = Request.Form("BKM_Search")
StrInput = LCase(StrInput) 'convert all to lowercase
StrInput = Trim(StrInput)'trim all empty space b4 & after string
StrCorrect = Replace(a_StrWrong, a_StrRight,1,1,1)
Let's say I want to replace the word "sea" with "ZZZ" only:
Example input: "Sean has some neat sea shells"
Example output: "ZZZn has some neat ZZZ shells"
I have a search results page that lists a series of records with clickable links to view the records. When you click on the link to the record, the record id, the search terms used, and the search type (exactphrase or anywords) is sent through the query string.
On the record page I have been trying to find a regular expression that would find and replace the search terms with < strong >< /strong > to highlight them. I am struggling.
Does any use a similar regular expression. One that, if flagged, will replace an exact string (phrase) or loop through an array replacing any of the words in the string?
I read that the "?" caracter can make you trouble with some search spiders. Although I know the Spiders are upgrading to evade this indexing problem, it is still an obstacle for some search engines.How can you refrain from using "?" in urls, for example, in a dinamically runned site?. Some CMS do it replacing that caracter with the slash bar "/", that is more spider-friendly.
In brief:
1. Is "?" still giving problems?
2. In case it's still making problems. How can I replace it?
that is generated by a database that I don't have access to?
So, I use a database drived store. It is not open source, so I do not have access to adjust the HTML that is generated.
Unfortunately, the code is fairly messy, and contains un-necessary breaks, paragraphs, and other code that I don't want there! A lot of it I've been able to adjust with css, but the biggest thing that bugs me, is that there is a table and a td that are at a set width. It is set at 'width=550'. I would like to either remove that, or change it to 'width=95%'.
Is there anyway I can accomplish this? What I do is create a template .htm page that the asp uses. Is there anything I can do in the .htm to replace or remove this HTML? Javascript? A snippet of ASP code? Or should I just learn to live with it?
I need to replace some dynamical content away from a text, only static thing is that it starts with <!-- Start dynamic --> and ends with <!-- End dynamic -->. How do i dynamical remove these two tags and all the content between them?
I'm sure this isn't difficult, but it's Friday afternoon (!).
I'm trying to use a regular expression to match html tags in a string and convert them to lower case. It's the RegExp object that I'm struggling with rather then expression syntax. So far I have this ('HELP!' denotes where I'm stuck):
private function recoverHTML(sHtml) dim oRegExp set oRegExp = new RegExp oRegExp.IgnoreCase = False oRegExp.Global = True oRegExp.Pattern = "<(.*?)>" sHtml = oRegExp.Replace(sHtml, HELP!)
With hosting for clans, more so then not, the clan tags contain charactures like + { [ in front of the tag letters. what I am having a problem with is if it starts with a +, it isn't picking up the name correctly. If in a sql statement, it looks for a tag that starts with a +, it won't find it. And sometimes, when it is supposed to move the tag over in a bracket, it moves it without the +.
for example, +EcK+ is the tag, it will either not find it, or move it over as EcK without the +'s.
is there any way around this? i know for some strings, such as things with ' you can use
I have a printer friendly page script, that outputs the text less any includes, it works well in IE, but firefox grabs the "'<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>" and outputs it to the print version page. SO i get a nice printer version - but with <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %> at the top.
Does anyone know how to write a conditional region like:after <body> if string is "<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>" replace with ""?
I've got an Access database with a memo field with large amounts of text in. In Access forms the text appears with line breaks where the enter key has been pressed. I'm using ASP to display this content on a simple webpage but want it to appear with the same line breaks as in the Access forms.

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

I have to develop a spell checker from scratch using asp language. as i'm a newbie with asp, there are still a lot of things that i don't understand. How can I add new words to my list of dictionary sorted alpabetically?

strTemp="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed"
and I am searching the string for another string 'amet', for example. How would I go about getting my page to output the word I search for and say 10 chars to the left and 10 to the right? So, in this case, I'd like to be be able to search the string with any other string ['amet' for example] and have it output this:
wondering if its possible to have some kind of searched word highlight! IE. every thing it throws up in return of search it will highlight why it has brought it up! so if search "a" all "a" in return results would be highlighted.
is it possible (i heard u can replace) to filter out bad words using regexp? I'm using Replace() but it sucks without ALOT of extra code... but using regexp it seems better, with ignorecase, etc.
how can i count how many words have i written in a text area?Like taking an example ... i am writing in this textarea of microsoft usergroup. and say in total i have written 50 words .. how can find out this information?
I retrieved some data from the database and put it in a textbox but the words after the blank sapace cannot be shown, why is that? Name = rs("requestor") 'where the name is "Sam Siew"
