String Convertion
i have a few records sets that i am getting info from a db.
I unsdersnd the sql side and off the top that is not what i am looking for do to db reasons i dont want to get into on this question. So please keep with asp for me.
I need to conver the following from varchar to formatcurrency:

sCK_Total = objRS("Check_Total")
sInd_PMT = objRS("Individual_PMT")

now i am able to do FormatCurrency on the sInd_PMT However when I us it on my sCK_Total I get the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'FormatCurrency'

Both fieds in the db are the same everything about these two variable are the same one is just the total amount for the check and the other is the individual amoutns that will later equal the check amount.

Compare Server Date With Date String

URL Convertion
I am creating a new site where users can create their own profile. When my page is showing a specific profil the URL would be something like:

The integer is of course the unique userid in my database. Now what I want is to be able to let user link to his profile on this form:

mysite.com/username

So the question is: can I/how can I, when the user enters mysite.com/username automaticaly redirect him to the corresponding site: mysite.com?profile=543

Quote: 20020920

Convert A Date String
I've got an ASP script connected to a db table with a datetime field which is filled mannually for each record. When I want to select only those records with a date greater than todays date using this sql query:

Select * from fixtures where home_team_code = '" & idno & "' or away_team_code = '" & idno & "' and game_date > '" & today & "' order by game_date asc

it returns all records rather than only records with a date in the future. Is this something to do with the fact that i'm comparing a string to a datetime?? Can I use a VBScript function to make the string comparable to datetime?

Cannot Get Xml String From XmlDom.xml, But Text
I have the following code which I try to load an xml file, but in browser, I
only get text value for each node, not whole xml string. I expect to see
something like:

<name firstName="betty" lastName="Smith">I am at home</name>
But I only see text "I am at home"
did I do something wrong?
Set xmlDom=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

XMLDom.async =False

xmlDom.load Server.MapPath("0925SelectTest.xml")

DataToSend = "xmlValue="& xmlDom.xml
Response.Write DataToSend
Response.End

Getting Text Inside A String
Could anyone tell me how to select the first three characters in a string, then put inside into another string.

Parsing A String Of Text
Let's say that I have the string below:

<title>Partly Cloudy and 73 degrees F at Pitt-Greenville Airport, NC</title>

In an ASP file, how would I get the three characters before the word "degrees"? In this particular case, it would be "73 ". Obviously, I'm trying to extract the degrees from this weather string (which is from the National Weather Service, in case anyone is wondering). If anybody knows a better way to get the degrees information from this string.

EDIT: Nevermind. I found that the National Weather Service also offers an XML version that has the degrees totally separated. (The one above is from an RSS feed rather than straight XML.) Having it in this form makes it much easier to parse.

Convert String To Date-format
I try to convert a string in to date format, but I didn't succeed until now.

I get a specified date in this form:

date = "20060808"

In the first step I convert the date to a valid date-format:

convdate = right (z,2)&"-"& mid(z,5,2)& "-" & left(z,4)
'looks like this now: "08-08-2006"

Now I want to put this value in a date-format to adding and substracting a days much easier for me.

test = (date)convdate
test = test+15

The problem is that I don't know how to convert into date format.

Altering A Text String For An Indexserver Query
I am trying to alter a text string to create a valid boolean query for
an index server search.

At the moment because the text string is created using combo boxes it
can have 2 or more 'AND's in succession.

Like This (strInput):
"Company AND Credit AND AND London AND AND Richmond Short Term AND AND
Intercompany AND Investment Bank AND Covertible AND AND "

what I want to do is change the above string to (strOutput2):

"Company AND Credit AND London AND Richmond AND Short Term AND
Intercompany AND Investment Bank AND Covertible"

I am trying to do it with the code below:

However this code produces problems as I loop through the various
search items.

It works fine in VB but fails when I try to port it to ASP. Code:

Cutting A Text String In Half Literally
I have a dynamically generated and FTP'd page that is sent to the server with a title of a song. Then when the user opens the page/site he or she will see the text in a marquee. What I want to do is create a IF Then Statement where it would look like the following:

I am getting a result like this: 'toh23'

and I want it to do either not show it or display and alternative text so...

<%
if (TEXTSTRING) = "toh" then response.write("News")
else
response.write("Normal Text")
end if
%>

I have the if then else down but I have no clue how to split the text between the 'toh' and the '23'. It will always be toh and then a number but the number changes. I know you can split strings with commas and such but how about numbers?

How To Pass The Multiline Text Value In Request String
I have some problem in my ASP project. I'm trying to pass the multi
line text value from my Client side to server side. (The string having
"Return Key" value). My ASP file doesn't response it.

String Length And Limited Text Field
Three text fields on a PDF doc. These fields are limited - only 15 lines each.

Strings are separated by breaks and if a string is too long, it wraps to a new line, decreasing the number of items that can go into the field.

So, a for loop from 0 to 14 works only if a string in the array is not too long.

Then, and if and another for from 15 to Ubound -1

Another if and another for. Code:

Need To Convert Sql Date To Text
I am trying to compare a variable with a db plain text field as follows:
access db has field named HFRNUM as text .... ex: 12182003-A

I create a variable in vb as follows:
Dim hfr_today
HFR_Today = (Month(DATE)) & (DAY(DATE)) & (YEAR(DATE)) & "-A"

Unfortuantely, I think the HFR_Today var is not text and when I look for a record that is LIKE or = the var, it returns blank.

I display my variable and see 12182003-A, yet it does not find the record that matches (except data type perhaps?) Is my variable of a different data type, and if so, how can I make it plain text?

How To Get HTML Text String From Dynamically Built Control?
I have built dynamic HTMLTable. Now I want to attach it directly to the Email Body - it is already built, so why not to use a ready table. However, I cannot find the way of getting plain HTML text out of dynamically built control. I tried to put my table between div and read div.innerHTML then - HTTP exception has been thrown.

Generate Randomize Numbers Based On A String Of Text
i trying to randomize a string of text inc. number and alpha. e.g. 024053J

what is the approach to generate a few integer numbers from this string "024053J" ?

i tried to this way of randomize but not very efficient as in sometimes the user will get the same numbers back when the page is refresh.

So i thought to use a string of text to generate the randomize numbers.

randomize()
num_pmax=100
num_pmin=1
r2=Int((num_pmax-num_pmin+1)*rnd+num_pmin)

Putting A Formatted Date In A Text Box

Check If A Text Box Data Is In Date Format?
Is this possible to check if a text box on form.htm is in mm/dd/yyyy format before submitting to asp page?

if you enter say 2/2/04 it gives a incorrect date format error. The asp page uses this text box in the select statement for a db2 table query that is a date field.

How To Check The Date Difference Between The Current Date And The Booking Date?

I have tried to use DateDiff but it seems doesn't work. Actually i just 1 to make sure that the user must book 3 days in advanced from the current date. I am wondering whether there is anything goes wrong in my datediff function. Code:

Web Forms / HTTP File Upload / String.Split A StreamReader.ReadLine() String
I'm developing an Asp.NET system to take a CSV file uploaded via the web, parse it, and insert the values into an SQL database. My sticking point comes when I try to split() the string returned by readline() on the file.

The following code snippet works for me:
tokens = "one,two,three,four".Split(",")
for each token in tokens
response.write("<td>"+token+"</td>")
next

However, if I take the next line in the CSV, read using StreamReader.ReadLine on the PostedFile.InputStream, I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which I have narrowed down to be my string holding the line. Further investigation reveals that no other string member functions work on my line (.ToCharArray, .ToString, etc).

I suspect that StreamReader.ReadLine is not correctly returning a string, even though Response.Write(line) displays what I would expect .....

Date Problem (wrong Date Inserted When Updating)
sql = "UPDATE Marknad SET" _
& " Typ ='" & Typ & "'" _
& ", Modell ='" & Modell & "'" _
& ", Arsmodell ='" & Arsmodell & "'" _
& ", Beskrivning ='" & Beskrivning & "'" _

& ", Epost ='" & Epost & "'" _
& ", Datum ='" & Datum & "'" _
& " WHERE (((Marknad.Annonsnr)=" & Request.QueryString("id") & "))"
DatabaseConnection.Execute sql

---

Above does work as I want it to do BUT it inserts 1/8/2006 instead of 8/1/2006 as it should!

The best thing would be to exclude the date from updating at all, but when taking away the line:

& ", Datum ='" & Datum & "'" _
It gives an error... how do I solve this?

I forgot, you might want to see this:
Datum = date

Comapare General Date With Short Date
I am trying to construct an SQL statement that can grab all of the entries out of a table, where the Date field consists of today's date. The Date field is called 'DateTime' - and it is in a General Date format (DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS). I obviusly want to use an SQL statement like this:

SELECT * FROM tblExample WHERE (DateTime = Date());

However, that wont work because Date() will only return a short date (DD/MM/YYYY).

International Text And FSO Created Text Files
When using ASP's FileSystemObject to create text files, I am unable to get user submitted text (in Hebrew) to save as anything other than "?????". The text file is being saved in Unicode and setting the CodePage in ASP proved unsuccessful. Strangely, hard coded Hebrew text in an ASP variable does add to the text file correctly.

Any ideas of why this happens and how to get it to work correctly?

How To Convert UK Date To US Date Using .asp & MS Access
I have built an online booking system for a hotel and all is working fine except for the fact that the ‘From’ and ‘To’ dates are saved in the MS Access database in US format. The user selects from a date picker pop, which places the in the textfield as English format e.g. 02/12/2007.

However when I try and save this value into the date column in my DB I obviously receive an error because the formats are different. Please could someone advise me on the best way to convert an English date to a US in order to insert this into the DB using ASP & MS Access.

At the moment I am using plain text as the column type, but this is not ideal as I want to start to run queries against the 2 dates.

Text Box In Form Cutting Text
I have a form on asp page that pulls info from a DB when the page loads.
It them puts the info into text boxes on the page that are editable by the
user.

The only problem I have is say in the description text box it should

.. It does this on all the text boxes? I can't seem to figure out why it
is doing it. Here is the sample code:

With quotes around <%= vdesc%>

<td><input name="desc" type="text" id="desc" size="45" value="<%=
vdesc%>"></td>

And I tried it without.


Regular Expression Of Text OR Text OR Etc...
I have text in a field coming from a database. The text has various
forms such as:

text1
text1 or text2
text1 or text2 or text3
text1; or text2
text1; or text2; or text3
etc...

how can I parse this with a reg ex? I tried this:

(.+);? or

but it only captures 1 submatch (text1) and only if theres an "or"
after it

I'd like to get 1 submatch for each piece of text separated by the
"or", just the text itself if there is no or.

Anyone know how to do it?

Error In Asp Text: Command Text Not Set For The Command

ADO LIKE 'string'
I am trying to search my access database for a string using LIKE and a wildcard.
Example:

Code:

Dim con

con = "SELECT names.* WHERE name LIKE 'sam*'"

For some reason this gives me no results even though I verified there is entries with the word sam in them.

Also tried using % instead of *. Also took out wildcard. I can search for an integer without a problem though, when I try a string, regardless if there's relevant entries I get nothing back at all.
