Wildcard Character/syntax
I have a little script that is supposed to check for a certain value in a db column, and then do something if that particular calue is present:Code:
...<%ElseIf rsIDK.Fields.Item("my_column").Value = "/default.asp" then ...
The problem is that my_column can contain up to 300 characters, so the code above doesn't work. What I really need is a wildcard at the end of "/default.asp" but I don't really know the correct way of doing this.

I'm passing a unique identifier from page1 to page2 to page3 querried from MS SQL Server. When I pass the value, it puts the value in the curly brackets. (Page1 is for display and Page2 is for edit and Page3 is update edit)
When I go to Page3, it gives me an error saying "Syntax error converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier" {7171B9BD-4599-43D9-9521-3DA583A1BB1A} This is the value and the error page says "id=%7B7171B9BD-4599-43D9-9521-3DA583A1BB1A%7D" It seems tp put "%7B" and "%7D" for "{" and "}". Has anyone seen this?
I'm also passing numbers and text and they don't seem to have this problem, just the unique key.

I have a script which checks the current page name and write out a certain class if it's true to achieve an active menu item effect.
I want to expand upon it a little and have it check for any pages beginning with business rather than list business_dir_info.asp?id=2517 where there are loads of ids. At the moment it's just set to check for business.asp which is the top level page, is there any sort of wildcard character I can use?

I am trying to show a series of movies on a web page. All of the movies are the same width, but have different heights. When I take out the width and height parameters, the pictures display fine, but the movies get the bottom cut off. When I put the parameters back, it stretches out the images to fit the entire box. Any way to make the height parameter a wildcard?
<<%=whattouse%> src="Upload/<%=(RS1.Fields.Item("xmedia_asset").Value)%>"
width="320" height="300" align="left" loop="false" controller="true"
autoplay="false"></<%=whattouse%>>

I have the following SQL statement that returns a result set based on the exact input stored in a session variable
If reqname <> "" Then
strSQL = strSQL & "AND(ABR_REQUESTOR='" & reqname & "')"
The variable “reqname” is set to a session variable.
I amended the SQL to do a wildcard search instead of searching for the exact string stored in the Session variable:
I altered the SQL as follows:
strSQL = strSQL & "AND(ABR_REQUESTOR LIKE '" & reqname & "%')"
The problem is the field ABR_REQUESTOR stores the first and last name separated by a space...i.e. John Smith
Using the above SQL will return John Smith if I use J, Jo, Joh.
But, if I want to search for Smith by using S, or Sm, etc. it won't work.
I need to alter the statement to look for anything after a space?

In an ecommerce situation, when a category link is clicked, my results page shows the category name at the top of the page
This is working great apart from when a search is done without specifying category eg from the search page
So for example Results.asp?Category=%25&Keyword=&Submit=Search
This gives all products in the results page but just gives the last category name in the table as the heading
I would like to write a condition that just presents a static message eg �Results� when the search wildcard % is passed Code:

I created an ISAPI dll application to prevent SQL Injection attempts by
intercepting the HTTP requests and sanitizing both GET and POST variables (or
any combination of both) before the request reaches the intended code. This
is especially useful for legacy applications not designed to deal with MS SQL
Server Injection attempts. Though this application was designed with MS SQL
Server in mind, it can be used with no or minimal changes with other database
engines.
This ISAPI is only compatible with Internet Information Server (IIS) 6.0
which comes with Windows 2003. Windows XP uses IIS 5 engine which DOES NOT
support ISAPI Wildcard.

I'm trying to pass the wildcard variable % to another page via
request.querystring.
When I go to pick up the variable through request.querystring, it will
never diplay the "%" if one is included. It will diplay any other
characters included in the variable though.
Code from page 1:
<%response.write "<a href='Page_2.asp?Severity=" & varCombo_Severity &
"&Owner=" & varCombo_Owner & "'>" & "<i> Go to Page 2 </i>" & "</a>"
%>
Code from page 2:
<%varCombo_Severity = Request.Querystring ("Severity")%>
<%varCombo_Owner = Request.Querystring ("Owner")%>
Result: No % wildcards are passed though to page 2
Any ideas?

I'm trying to set a session variable where two variables are seperated by a backslash:
Dim a
Dim b
a = Request.QueryString("Class")
b = Request.QueryString("Group")
Session("FTEClassGroup" & y) = a + "/" + b
I can't get this to work? I'm not sure, but is the backslash being seen as a string instead of the actual backslash character?

I have a partner sending me by post method to an asp page some text (xml
string).
It arrives to my page encoded as follows
%9a%2f%Purchaseorder%3....f
The < and > and spaces are replaced by nuùmbers and percentage sign
I am using Request.BinaryRead(BytesTotal) and then doing response write and
I am getting exactly the same string with the encoding
How can tell my asp page to translate the encoded text to normal text?

I'm having a problem finding/using an escape character with this ASP/JScript application I'm creating. Basically I have text sometimes that has apostrophes or double quotations in them, but they won't be INSERTED unless I manually take them out.
Ex: INSERT INTO tbl1 (vendor,reason) VALUES (81,"This is only a test, but there is an apostrophe and it's only going to make things worse.")
That apostrophe in "it's" is kiling everything. I've used the replace method to change it to " ' ", but that STILL doesn't work. I can't find MS SQL's ESCAPE CHARACTER. I've tried several directions of the backslash, but no luck.

The application should have a way of alerting the user if it does not recognize a character used by the website and give the user the ability to make adjustments to the unrecognized characters. The system should then remember the characters that have been adjusted by the user.
