I am trying to write an asp(vbscript) parser for wiki-style pseudo code, and
can't get my head round regexp.
I am hoping if somebody could give me an example to work on for one, I could
sort the others.
e.g. how do you turn (from within a large string, with varying occurences)
.......[image:/mydir/pics/my portrait.jpg | A picture of me]......
into
......<img src="/mydir/pics/my%20portrait.jpg " alt="A picture of me">.....
I am looking for a REgExp (or function) that will check a URL is entered in correctly
View Replies View Relatedwhy the following code incorrectly returns 2 as matches count whereas when I change str = "179,80,179,80,179" I get the correct count which is 3?
str = "179,179,179"
num = 179
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Global = true
regEx.IgnoreCase = True
regEx.Pattern = "(^|,)" & num & "($|,)"
Set colMatches = regEx.Execute(str)
response.write colMatches.Count & "<BR>"
I have a string which is an html document - I want to eliminate all the <script>blah blah</script> tags. I can't seem to get the regexp pattern right. Here's where I've got to:Code:
Set oReg = New RegExp
oReg.IgnoreCase = True
oReg.Pattern = "(<script[.
]*</script>)"
Set oMatches = oReg.Execute(sHTML)
For Each oMatch In oMatches
sHTML = Replace(sHTML, oMatch.Value, "")
Next
I'm struggling trying to get the concepts of the regExp function down....
What i'm trying to achieve is to remove all white space from html formatted
source code.
I have the following regExp search string to remove all html source code but
that is not what i require.. RegExp.Pattern = "<.*?>"
I want to store all html source code and its text/image contents into a DB.
For that reason i want to remove all line breaks and spacing/tabs within the
source code so as to only have one exteremely long single line leaving the
formatting of the contents of the html code alone all so that i can stuff
into a varchar(MAX) field.
what is the syntax for parenthesis? but i don't want to allow <> or / like S would (if i understand that correctly). would i use ascii then, as in: x40 and x41?
View Replies View RelatedPremise: Inserting data into a database form a <textarea> and
displaying this data through an HTML page.
When inserting data into a database via a text area and then displaying
this data any carriage return that was entered into the database was
lost. I Created a function to replace a carriage return with a <BR>. I
call this function when I display this data.
If I enter text inside <> into a database and then display this data,
any text that was within the <> is lost because it is considered an
HTML tag. How can I search the string for the brackets and actually
diplay them? I do not want to use Server.HTMLEncode before I insert the
data into the database. This is because we often query the database
from outside a web browser.
Here is my function I have for the carriage return. I need to figure
out how to accomplish this for both < and >. I am sure this is simple
but I do not know what the .pattern should be (for a carriage return it
is "
".
SET regQuote = New RegExp
regQuote.pattern = "
"
regQuote.global = True
catchCR = regQuote.Replace(strText, "<br>")
I have a bit of code that replaces all links in my forums with hyperlinks. I'd like to add [url=www.sitehere.com]Link[/url] BB Code links to my forums. This is difficult to word, but how do you specify for RegExp to skip links if they are in [url] tags.
View Replies View RelatedI have some code working with Regular Expressions and it works right on my server (W2K Server), but doesn't work on all IIS 5 servers. I originally thought that the servers just didn't have the RegExp object, but a testing script shows that the problem is in the replace statement. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI'm not so familiar with ASP, so don't shoot me if this one's easy. I have to redesign the front of a Belgian hosting company. On that front they have a domain check like this:
Input field (domain without extension)
Hidden fields with populair basic extensions
(<input type=hidden name=ext value=be> <input type=hidden name=ext value=com> ...)

I just realized that it's so important to validate each string, I mean
'each' before you insert data from asp page into database.
I guess some customers just copy data from some electronic document and
paste intoform field which it will probably mess up the program.
for example, we have a customer who wants to enter AH12345 into one of our
fields, it appears Ð?Ð?12345 in hidden field of our asp page, but it displayed
AH12345 to the customer, but our program failed because of the data does fit
into char field in sql database.
I don't know in reality, how other companies deal with those kind of thing.
Do I have write our own regExp to validate each string, since we do need to
allow apostrophe or "-" in first name or last name.
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 would I do it? O, here's the way it is now:
<%= Decode(ChkBadWrds("Comment")))%>
How would I do something similar using regexp?
I am trying to use the RegExp object to alter a string by a specifec pattern.
my string will be something simillar to this:
str = "bla bla <p> another bla <p class='row1'> bla"
I want the pattern that I give the RegExp object return all the "p" tags, that meens, in this example, "<p>" & "<p class='row1'>".
I wrote this code in ASP but the required results are not returning: Code:
Some one has kindly supplyed me with this regexp to check all UK post codes:
/^([Gg][Ii][Rr] 0[Aa]{2})|((([A-Za-z][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][0-9][A-Za-z])|([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]?[A-Za-z])))) [0-9][A-Za-z]{2})$/
The trouble is it looks for a space in the middle and i DONT want a space.I can't see the bit that does this
How do I evaluate a RegExp to true or false? Like I want to know if the value is correct or not using this snippet. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI need to truncate a news article to only show a certain number of characters on the front page. the news articles often contain html and the characters in the html are being counted. So, even though I want the text to be truncated at, say, 350 characters, the final result on the page looks like it's been truncated way further up, because the text of the html added to the character count.
here's the code i'm using to truncate
URLFunction ChopLastWord( Line, Length )
If Len(Line) < Length Then
ChopLastWord = Line
Exit Function
End If
Dim spaceat
spaceat = InStrRev( Line, " ", Length )
If spaceat < Length-20 Then spaceat = Length ' value of 20 is arbitrary
ChopLastWord = Left( Line, spaceat ) & "..."

I'm trying to solve three minor problems with vbscript REGEXP.
1) I want to find any occurences of and|or|not in a string and capitalize them.
regEx.Pattern = "(s)(and|or|not)(s)"
KW = trim(regEx.Replace(KW, "$1" & ucase("$2") & "$3"))
how come this is not working?
2) when highlighting words (in a search results page for example), I want to match the word ignoring case. however, when wrapping the word in highlighting code and replacing the substring, I want to keep the original capitalization.
regEx.Pattern = "(^|s|[^a-z0-9])" & highlitetemp(iTemp) & "(s|$|[^a-z0-9])"
Body = trim(regEx.Replace(Body, "$1<span class=highlite>" & highlitetemp(iTemp) & "</span>$2"))
for example, if the word to match is marvelous, but the word is stored uppercase in the db, the above code will replace the word with a lowercase version. how do I get around this?
3) I want to remove any and|or that are not inside double quotes in a string. for example,
test = """The dog and the cat""" & " and fox or mouse " & """the cat and the dog"""
resulting in "The dog and the cat" and fox or mouse "the cat and the dog"
I would like to remove only the AND OR linking fox and mouse in the middle of the string. how would I do that?
I have used:
set typ = server.createobject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
to create a random string of 36 characters. However, is there a way to
create a random string of digits in the length I request? Perhaps a string
of 20 digits with a few asterisks thrown in for ease of typing?
for example:
4515-81301-75454-45136-1
Would this be reated with RegExp? And how?
the isp i'm
using has authorized ssl on my site but i dont know how to tell a
particular page that it can only be run as a secure page... Where at the
moment u can view the page as https or http.
I'm assuming i need some code to detect whether its being run as a https
and if not redirect it to https.
I have an ASP page, on the Window_OnLoad event I use VbScript to popup an Inputbox to accept a value from the user and put it into a string called strValue. I then want to be able to go (in asp)
<%Response.Write(strValue)%[color=blue]
> - but if I do that nothing happens.[/color]
How can I access the Vbscript variable in the ASP part of the page?
I tried using some code examples from (URL address blocked: See forum rules) into my defualt.aspx page (in VS2005). I had some errors with this. I thought this might be cause the tutorial at w3schools.com said it was for *.asp files.
For example I had an error ("Statement cannot appear within a method body. End of method assumed) when I tried putting a SUB in the <head>. Like this
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)">
<html xmlns="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" >
<head runat="server">
<%
sub vbproc(num1,num2)
response.write(num1*num2)
end sub
%>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
By the way if anybody will be available to answer basic questions like this every so often throughout the day (ie: check your email or this forum every couple of hours, until midnight California time December 8), I'd be willing to pay a reasonable amount. I just need help with some of the technical details like this + finding source code
I manipulate MSAgent AcitiveX object using VBScript at client side, I
met a wierd problem when I debugged my ASPX page. when msagent recognize
a phrase and fire event, my vbscript capture the event and do something,
including make the agent do some animation and speech, then open a
browser window using 'window.open "www.google.com", "Google" '. the code
works fine when I view the ASPX page with browser inside VS.NET, when
browse this page in web browser from the localhost, the agent works
fine, but the new window did open up. why?
I have COM+ component installed on my XP. I have problem to create

The output will be : 3
I'm trying to create a simple recordset, and would like to include an and/or option. to do this i set up an option on the previous page,and then sent the selection through to the next page. i was then hoping to simply insert the variable i had created into the code so that whichever of and/or is selected is used in the code. i.e.
where and_or is the variable from the previous page.
Search.Source = "SELECT * FROM dbo.Employee_List where First_Name='"&firstname&"' '"and_or"' Last_Name='" &lastname&"'"
so basically whenever someoned chooses an option its automatically filled in at the indicated location in the code. is it possible to do this and if so what is the correct syntax for using variables within this code?the full search function will have numerous fields so i'd like to avoid using if statements.

I have an ASP.NET solution,and the ASPX page I have a form ,I want to copy some of the data from that form to the clipboard,I am using the below script the script works fine when I use a normal anchor tag with the onclick event,but I want to be able to use an actual asp control like the hylperlink or linkbutton.
I have tried the link button but it gives an error saying Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'VBScript' is not a member of 'ASP.sr_aspx'.
And the hyperlink control doesn't seem to have an option for the onclick. The code is located in the .aspx not in the .vb.
I have absolutely NO knowledge about ASP. Though I've been working with PHP for almost 2 years and decided that I need to take the next step and learn some more languages both to keep me busy and to expand my skills.
Like I said...I have no knowledge or experience with this. From what I read, there are two ways of coding ASP. First using VBScript and then C#. I'm really confused, because for one, I don't know what the difference is, and secondly I'm ot sure which is the best.
I'll be primarily (if not only) be using ASP to build online applications, websites, etc.
a dictionary of terms with definitions, (in a database) how can i hyperlink(automatically) words within the definitions for which a definition also exists.
url structure is like this
www.site.com/glossary?word=someword
Then - in the definition of "someword" there is a word that also has a definition in the database. I'd like to auto hyperlink it to that definition. Also since the data is all coming from a database, what if one of the words to be replaced has not yet come up in the loop? (...or would it be okay since EVERYTHING should be in the recordset?
usually do perl and php. However, I would like to backup my databases with a microsoft sql server and sometimes a simple access database. In other words I would have a perl or php script that would insert data into a mysql database and at the same time post to a vbscript that will deal with the microsoft sql server or access database. I choose not to use perl or php to do the latter because I would like to keep every aspect according to its environment.
Almost every vbscript I've looked at is embedded in the html page. Since I intend to send via a post from a different type script - my question is can you place vbscript on the server as a stand alone? If this is possible - Where can I find references to this?
I have a problem trying to run a vbscript on my desktop. The script runs fine on other desktops. Has it got to do with any security settings in my xp? and how do i enable it?
