I currently have a simple html page that consists of a text box and submit button. A user supplies a quote in the text box and presses the submit button. When the submit button is pressed the quote is added to a ‘Quote’ table in an MS Access database.
This works perfectly well, however if a quote contains an apostrophe, such as … this won’t work… It will not add to the database. If I had typed in …this wont work… It would be added to the database with no problems. Code:
how to accept ' or apostrophe when adding on the database? because I created a simple guestbook and when i tested it it works fine but once i add apostrophe like TOY'S etc it generates error.
View Replies View RelatedI have a asp webapp that must use a .net dll (with com wrapper) that in turn
uses the patterns and practices libraries (june 2005 version) to access to
the database.My asp webapp can properly instantiate the c# dll, but I do not know how to
set the data needed to access the db. In asp.net I can add the configuration
info to web.config, pointing to a dataconfiguration.config and all works fine.
How can I put the needed info in the ASP configuration?
If it is not possible to do so, how can I set a single configuration file
for the enterprise library, provided that their dll are in GAC and that the
can be called from c# exe, asp.net webapps and asp webapps and all of them
should share a single configuration?
I am getting a bug with regards to submitting an ASP form. Here's the scenario:
I am entering info in a form and calling an ASP page to process it. I am collecting info from the fields like so Code:
I’ve a form with a textbox called Message. When visitor enters text, I use Replace function to handle an apostrophe code that will receive the text and store in the database.
It works fine.
When I try to retrieve the text message, it doesn’t show what I’ve in the DB, but it displays, for example: I?m. It supposes to display as “I’m”
I did try:
<%message= Replace(trim(RS("message")),"'","''")%>
<td><p><%=message%></p></td>
I know this is a very commonly asked question, but I can't find a solution
anywhere that I have looked.
I need to take the text that will be typed in paragraph form by the user
(textarea field) and do two things with it:
1. Store it in a SQL Server database field
2. Send it in an email upon page submit.
Of course, single quotes have caused problems, so I have this code:
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'","''")
Problem is, it shows up like this in the email that is sent:
==============================
We''re in the process of
==============================
I would like to get rid of the double apostrophes, but not sure how. Went to
an article on ASPFAQ, and saw something which directed me to do this:
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'",chr(34))
However, that just makes it a regular double-quote. I guess I could try and
find out what the character number for apostrophes are, but not sure where
that is. Besides, will that mess up my SQL Server or the email if I do that?
i have a textarea in my form, and it worked. but if the input text contains apostrophe, i would get sth like this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''rtert'','Judy Nadia Jolonius');'. /saveRemarks.asp, line 195
how can i make asp ignore the apostrophe?
I know a few ways to handle an apostrophe, but am at a loss for which i should use for this. The ways I know how to deal with it are.
alias = Replace(Request.form("alias"), "'", "''")
alias = Replace(Request.form("alias"), "'", " & #39; ")
The name of the field is self explanitory. When the admin searches for a person using the "'" , " ' ' " method they find the user. But when ever we display that info anyware it has the O''conner setup. Code:
I have been trying for days to learn regex, can't seem to get to grips with it at all .

I am struggling to find a solution to a relatively easy problem I have a string which contains a date in the format of: 20 Sep 2007 14:24

I have a text search which reads a textfile and displays each line that has a value the user is searching for. It's practically finished except when it searchs it doesn't look for exact matches (e.g a searh for Ali would return Alison or Alice).
How would i go about using RegEx's to prevent this by making the search look for the exact word entered? Code:
I have this pattern to filter out bad words
regx.Pattern = "darn|dick|swear|blahblah"
it works, but in case of the word "dickinson"
the wordfilter also replaces dick in dickinson d***inson,
so i thought i could try this pattern
regx.Pattern = "darn|dick|swear|blahblah"
but no change, i've tested the regex with a similar PHP script and the operator works.
any clues why it wont work in asp?
I am trying to do some custom forum code, like using [ b ] as a tag and replacing it later using RegEx. The problem is, its not replacing quite right. Its leaving in the []s and its not closing some of the tags.
Here is my pattern: "[ b ]((.|
)*?)[/ b ]"
Here is my replace text: "<b>$1</b>"
Here is some sample text: "yada yada yada [ b ]hey![/ b ] yada yada"
Now, another thing, I would like it to close tags if they aren't closed properly. Is this possible?

I'm trying to query a database where some records contain apostrophes in them. Is there an effective way to do this?
View Replies View RelatedI am running into a very common problem that i cannot seem to find a solution for. I have an access database with a text field. Some of the records will contain an apostrophe. i have used the replace method to escape the apostrophe and turn it into ~~~. I can sucessfully change that back to an apostrophe everywhere but a text box. Here is my code:
response.write "<input type=text name=title" & icount & " value='" & replace(rs("title") ,"~~~", "'") &"' size=55><br>"

I made a regular expression to match Guitar Chords.
[A-G](#|b)?([a-z]|[0-9])*
This pattern should find any of the following:
1) G
2) Gmaj
3) G7
4) G#
5) Gb
6) G#min
The pattern works for all of these except for #4. For some reason it will only return the 'G' instead of the full 'G#'. I find this very odd because if the chord is 'Gb', the regex will return the full 'Gb'.This pattern works fine in javascript. Is there anything special with the '#' character in RegEx for VBScript? I am using VBscript engine 5.6
I'm using regular expressions to identify in a string an url ad format it in hyperlink.
The problem is that in the same string should be bbcodes and the [url] one tooo... so when the regexp will format the code will format the one in bbcode too.
The solution would be the lookaround function of RegEx to see if behind the match there is the [url] code... but it's not implemented in VisualBasicScript. Is there any way to use this function in my script ?
Is it possible to have more then one pattern for the .pattern variable. If I'm to execute and search and replace on a specific string can I make it so my .pattern will ignore specific keywords and not just A keyword?
View Replies View Relatedi have text, in it i want to highlight the words user used to find this result.
i used the normal replace, it worked fine except the case thing..
SearchForSp = Split(SearchFor, " ")
For i = 0 to Ubound(SearchForSp)
EmpJobsText = Replace(EmpJobsText, SearchForSp(i), "<strong><u><font
color=red>"&SearchForSp(i)&"</font></u></strong>", vbTextCompare)
EmpJobsText
next
i tried to use the regEx.Repalce from the examples in groups but just couldn't find a way. problem is in the normal replace function i have option to supply a source. in this case "EmpJobsText" is the source. but regEx.Repalce don't seem to have place to type where to replace, only what to replace with what.
I am having a problem with the apostrophe not showing up correctly when doing a mysql query and returning the data.
I am using a function to keep apostrophes from causing the queries to fail and the data that does get displayed to the user (html) turns out right 90% of the time but on a certain page it displayes the apostrophy twice instead of once. Here are the relevant pieces of code:
I need a pattern to do this:
"?caid=[0-9]+&pgid=oRS("pgId")"
Where [0-9]+ means you need atleast 1 number there, the rest is just a string plus my recordset's variable. I know this syntax would work with the regex I learned at school but I'm not sure how to make it work in ASP.
I have a string that I want to check to be sure there are no single or double quotes in it. Using RegEx should be possible but I cannot figure out how the syntax should go.
I am programming in ASP.NET with C# as the code behind.
here is one I know works to be sure there are only numbers in the string, but i can not for the life of me figure out the right syntax for quotes
I am trying to write a regex function that will find all html tags with an id= value and get it to return the tag and value of the id.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this has got me very frustrated.
It will most likley be a very simple thing that I have missed.
I have the following regex replace:
putDefInThis = RegExpReplace(putDefInThis, strPattern, "<a href=""" & lcase(replace("$1"," ","-")) & ".asp"">$1</a>")
The problem is that i can not get the vb replace to work on the "$1" in the url. $1 is such that it can be multiple words separated by a space. for the href, I need to convert the space to "-". It does not do that with the way I hvae the code above.
I am using a Replace function to replace single quotes with double when

way to fix this?
Isn't there some line of code that I can write to tell ASP to treat everything between BLAH and /BLAH as text (including the apostrophe). So that users can type a name of "O'Malley" in a form and I can retrieve it and store it in my database.
View Replies View RelatedWhat is the correct data type to use if the phrase I'm saving to my table contains an apostrophe such as in the phrase "yesterda's news". I've tried "text" data type, I've tried "varchar" and "char". They all give me bugs when I save to the database and if I remove the apostrophe from the phrase, then it saves correctly with any data type.
