Text Manipulation
I've been asked by a friend to try and code something that works like this and I would be able to except for the fact that it's on a IIS server without PHP.
That said, I wouldn't mind learning ASP now that I have a project to learn on, but I need to do it in decent time. Could anybody point me to a package that does something like this that I could pick apart and learn from, or point me to some worth while ASP text manipulation links that might get me a good start on learning what I need to get it done?
And as a last choice if I can't get it done quick enough, does anybody have any links to premade packages that I could purchase that would do the same thing?

Alright, now I'm trying to combine time and date in one variable as such:
Combined = time & " " & date
But instead of getting 12:42:13 PM 6/12/2006, I just want to get 12:42 6/12. How do I strip off the last characters to just get the parts I want? Also, I'd really like to see the time in 24 hour(military) format, but I'm not sure how to accomplish that either.

I am researching option for doing the following in ASP:
1. Thumbnailing an image as it is uploaded and/or selected by user, basing the thumbnail size on the current image dimensions [hence need to detect image dimensions]
2. Rotate an uploaded image [portrait to landscape and vice-versa]
Googling I find a wide range of mainly commercial COM components for doing this and other manipulations.
I am wondering what is the most "standard" way of doing this in normal ASP (3.0). Do servers tend to have preinstalled components for this? Is there a set of components most commonly used?

I have a very long string, that I need to cut up into more usable sections and display or write to text file. It should: Read the string in, move along the string x number of characters then find the nearest end of the sentance, eg. a . or ? write a new line and do this again. Basically I want to end up with a number of lines of full sentances of a similar length.

I have a first name last initial, all displayed as one. I want to break it appart & show capital letters on the initials. IE: "johnd" > "John D"
Did a search around the forums, but only found info on the "replace" function. Don't think I could do this with that function alone. This should be a simple problem, but I'm pretty new to asp (not to programming though).

I was wondering if there is a way to "trim" the session value in ASP. I know that "trim" takes the spaces but what I want is to shorten the actual txt. For Example I have a Session.MM_Username.
This session return the users email address because I am using this as there username for when they log in. Is is possible to only return the characters before the "@" symbol? when they log in I want the user to see "Welcome abc" not
see their email address .

Looking for sample code in asp or asp.net which uses two trees the left hand tree having all levels and leaf nodes and the right hand tree containing only levels.
Buttons in the middle to "move" levels or nodes around, add new levels, rename levels or delete levels.
Everything working off a table with parent/child type relationship.

I have an IP Address, for example 15.65.325.98, and I need it to return everything after the third dot including the dot. So in this case, it should return .98. The end of the IP will be dynamic and may contain 1,2, or 3 characters which is why a simple Right() Function will not work.

I run an eCommerce site and I have a checkout form that requests the customers phone number. I have it set up as one whole field, not broken up: 3,3,4 - too hard to re-work. Therefore a customer is free to enter anything:
(987) 555-1234
9875551234
(9875551234
etc.
I want to format the phone number before it is saved to the database in the following format:
987-555-1234
Basically, I need to strip the number of everything except the numbers and then add a "-" after the 3rd and 6th number?

I need to write a script that will be able to calculate monthly totals and yearly totals. My database stores the date as "16-Apr-02" and I initially thought I'd just use greater than/less than calculations.
But, this page will need to be generic enough to hold up for a couple years so this option wouldn't work for monthly totals as soon as I get into 2003 right?
So would the best way to go be to parse the date and just look to extract the "Apr", "May", etc for the monthly totals and use the greater/less thans for the yearly totals, or is there even a better way of doing what I'm looking to do?

I have a client with a database whose author didn't do any type of form verification. Hence, in the "price" field, there are values such as 213000, $32,400, 5000 USD, etc.
What I am hoping is that some might tell me how to take a string, cut out all white space first, then go character by character to test for INT. Once done, count the characters, insert a "," where appropriate, and display on a page? Can this be done?

Ok, given a string up to any length, lets say 1,000 characters. I want to only display no more than 450 characters, but I want to end the string where a "." is found. In other words, have it go the 450 character, then from that point backwards, find the first "." That will be the end of what is displayed. I don't want hanging sentences in other words...

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?

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
read "HP Laserjet 5Si" , it always cuts the text off where it just says "HP"
.. 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.
