ASP :: Extracting Text From PDF File

Extracting Part Of Text
Is there a way of extracting only part of an entry retrieved from a SQL database. For instance, if I have an article of 4000 characters can I extract only the first line of the article and them put a link to the full article after the extracted text.

It is something I have been trying to master and will help me display my retrieved recordset data better.

Extracting Text From Remote Site
I'd like to do the above, ideally in javascript but i'm aware of the security restrictions with accessing the DOM of a file not hosted on the same server - however i'm not looking to manipluate anything on the remote site, or handle any events (such as keylogging!). All i want is to have a piece of text on the remote site dupicated on my own site.

I'm happy to receive the html as a whole and split it up to get what i want, but i'm beginning to think the way forward is doing it server-side with asp.
Anyone know the best way to do this?

OR am i just being silly and there is a way to copy the contents of a remote page into my own page in javascript, split it up and only display what i need.

(btw im quite happy with the splitting up bit, no help needed there - i just need the blasted text in the first place!)

Read An Asp File As A Text File
I want to read an asp file as a text file. The problem is that the file that I want it to read is located on a server. For example: I want to read te content of this file: http://www.bnro.ro/Ro/Info/default.asp . I want to look after some values in that file.

<xiam>

Extracting The First Paragraph
Is it possible to extract the first paragraph in a mysql text field? my code line to display all text:

Extracting Other Sites Content
we have a site, that has a link to a online PC cart that we are registered with. Trouble is, when the user goes to the other site, we obviously no longer have our interface wrapped around the page.

We can do this with an iframe, but it wont vertically stretch the content (a scroll bar appears). Is there any way in ASP, to call a url, and say, insert that url into a <td></td> on our page?

Extracting Data From A Document
Not a problem with my code, but something I would like to add, (ASP
VBScript) at the moment I have a form where a user uploads their details
including a document (Doc, PDF, TXT, Docx) The document is uploaded to a
folder on the server with the address being stored in the database and I'm
tracking the user id through sessions.

What I would like to do after the upload is redirect to a blank page, where
some script extracts the data from the document and inserts it into another
field on the database associated with the user id, I think this may be called
parsing, but I'm at a complete loss, I don't suppose you guys have any ideas
on this do you.

Extracting Part Of A String
we have a database with a lot of products in it. and for some reason one fo the feilds is set up like "<img src="images/something/image.jpg" />". they should be set up without the html but because of the way they are set up theres no way i can use them outside of the root directory.

I need a way to just pull the first 10 characters off the string. which would be the <img src=" part, and then pull off the last 4 characters " />. so that i am just left with images/something/image.jpg.

I can sort of get the first part to work by using Mid(string,10)

but how can i remove the last 4 characters?

in php the function would do the ending characters if you made it a negative number. but Mid(Mid(string,10),-4) doesnt seem to work.

Extracting Source Code
Is there a way of processing an ASP page and placing the resulting HTML
source code into a TEXTAREA on another page?

I have a page that will be generated dynamically from database content.
However, I want a form on another page to have access to the compiled source
code for use in an electronic newsletter.

Manually I would load the dynamic page, view the source and copy it out. I
would then paste it into my form field on the relevant page.

Extracting Data From A URLEncoded String
I am trying to add a feature to our inventory that will pass the current URL to a second site so that I can return to the original site later through a redirect. Basically, it is intended to work like this - you do a search, and are taken to a page where you can view the records.

You click on a record to view it and/or update it, and then you are returned to the original search results. I am having some trouble, and am hoping that someone can help me out.

I am placing the values that I want to keep (original URL, search terms, sort order, page number) into a string, and then using Server.URLEncode to encode it: Code:

Text File
I'm using ASP 3.0. I'm taking form contents and dumping it into a text file
on the server. how to add the TIME to this statement. I create the text file with the name of file, month, day and year.I would like to add TIME to it.

-------------------------------------------------------------
set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")

Set act = fso.CreateTextFile(server.mappath("/data/"&g_filename & "-"&
month(date())& day(date())& year(date()) &".htm"), true)
-------------------------------------------------------------

Writing Text File
I have an application which was successfully writing data from submitted
forms to a text file in a directory - in this case:

/data/findata.txt

This was fine because the forms lived at the root level with this directory.

Since then I have added enabled the forms to be used on subdirectories :

/subdirectory/myform.asp

I've used the same code for server.mapparth("data") etc - but instead of
locating the directory at the root of the server called "data" it looks to
the current directory- doesn't find it and creates another! eek!

What I need is a way to say "right, it doesnt matter what level you are at
at the moment, always look at the root level /data directory"...

This has to be fairly dynamic - on the development server here its got a
different file structure than on the live server (ie, it lives another level
down again on the physical drive)...

Anyone got a good idea on how to look back up?

I do have one way to test which level they are at - but I feel that its a
bit 'weak' - I have an ID that tells me if they are working on the upper or
lower levels (ie, anything other than 1 is a lower level) - whilst I realise
I could use this in the test I'm not sure if its going to be 100% fool proof
to base this criteria on this ID.

Therefore I was hoping for a better way using the server.mappath etc...

I have a page which sends a query to an DB2 using an ODBC. The
results are then written to a text file. I am unable to write directly to
the users drive because of permissions.

The problem I have is that when the
query set becomes too big, I get error '8007000e' Not enough storage is
available to complete this operation. The query is returning 100, 000
records or more. So my question is how do I handle this? Somebody had
suggested to me to chunk the data. Code:

Asp Question About Text File
I wrote an asp program that displays some information line by line such as
name, address, town, state, zip

and it prints about 200 lines to their browsers when the asp file is called.
It is comma delimted so they can import into their database using access for
example.

1. when they do file-save as to a txt file, it does not import right for
them. It seems the lines blend into each other.

1. the only way they can do it is if they view the source code, then save as
txt file. then when they import into access, it parses right.

odd, what can i do on my asp end to make sure they can just do a file save
as right from browser instead of viewing source.

fname.WriteLine("hd2|" & objRS("ShippingName") & "|" & objRS("ShippingAddress") & "|" & objRS("ShippingAddress2") & "|")
