XMLHTTP Character Issue - Converting Byte Array To String
I'm using Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0 to fetch a HTML page on a remote
server. The fetched page is then parsed and the information of interest
is extracted and send to the client browser.
However, the remote server does not specify any character coding in its
headers. If using ResponseText property in ServerXMLHTTP, some
international characters are not decoded correctly. This is due to
ResponseText assuming UTF-8 coding if no character set is specified.
My solution is to use the ResponseBody property which returns the web
page as an array of unsigned bytes. I then convert the data to a string
using the ADODB.Stream method as described here:
http://www.motobit.com/tips/detpg_binarytostring/
The string is then parsed and the required information is pulled out.
This solution works just fine but I wonder if there is some more
efficient (without the need for a byte to string converion) way to
solve the problem.
I want to convert the binary data to string. I tried doing the same using following peace of code.
Function SimpleBinaryToString(Binary) Dim I, S For I = 1 To LenB(Binary) S = S & Chr(AscB(MidB(Binary, I, 1))) Next SimpleBinaryToString = S End Function
It works fine when the data is English. But when the binary data contains some Japanese characters the resultant string gets corrupted.
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 am near to desperation as I have a million things to get a solution for my problem. I have to post a multipart message to a url that consists of a xml file and an binary file (pdf). Seperately the posting words fine but when I want to create one multipart message with both then things go wrong.
The binary file is converted and of datatype byte() The xml file is just a string.
I don't know how to merge these two into the multipart message. I have tried converting the binary to string and then concatenate but that doesn't work as it seems to leave off the last part of the file and the boundary.
I am passing a string into a page and them looking up info to display from a database based on whats passed in. The link is www.domain.com/page.asp?variable='12345678' Once inside the page the following code is executed Code:
i am doing this asp programming with vbscript and came across to this problem. i need this answer asap coz i have to submit my assignment tomorrow. the thing is in the code below all the condition under the if statement works EXCEPT where i want to say that 'OrderValue' has to be between 100000 and 999999 inclusive.
it doesnt work i hv used to 'CInt' function to change 'OrderValue' Integer 'OrderValue' contains the text/string entered from the previous page that was entered in a text box called 'txtSearch'
I am trying to utilise xmlhttp for my website. I have been told that it is on the server (don't have access to the actual server so far as installing components etc.).
But I keep getting an 'Invalid Class String' error.
Is there a way to list out the valid class strings or list the components on a server from a normal asp page (so I can see what is/isn't available).
What are the different alternatives to the line...
[VBS] Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")[/VBS] that may be substituted depending on the version of it? Or is there another alternative to xmlhttp that will provide me with the source of a page on another server that may already be installed...?
is any way possible to convert a string, which is a string of a number, to an integer (using VBScript). If not, are there any other solutions to have a number that is a string, and add one to increase that number?
I am trying to populate column values from an Oracle database into an HTML "Select" control. The column in the databases is defined as number. It is not working because I think I need to convert the value from the databases into a string variable first.
i got some text fields im submitting by a form and i need to add the field to the current field in the table but the field is text in the table so when i do this
i have dkp1 = 10 from the form and 20 in getraids field
and the above calculation it dosn add but puts them to getter as a string like 1020 and i need to calculate it to 30. my real question is there a way u can define the request.form(dkp1) to be converted from text to numberic ? and getraids of course or do i realy need to change the field type in the table ?
Am collecting numerical entries from text boxes and converting to numbers using:
F1 = Round(CDbl(Request.Form("amout1")),2) F2 = Round(CDbl(Request.Form("amount2")),2) F3 = Round(CDbl(Request.Form("total")),2) F4 = F1 + F2
If F4 <> F3 Then Session("ErrorMessage") = Session("ErrorMessage") & "- Your control amounts do not tie to the Total Deposit amount.<br>" End if
etc.
Sometimes it works, but other times, although the numbers tie out, the calculated amounts are not coming up as equal. I've written the results (F3 & F4) to the screen and they equal, although the server doesn't think so.
Is this an issue with binary number conversion or something. Should I be using something other than CRnd (Delphi has something like C$ or CCurrency)??
What is the best way to check each character within a string?
For doing something like encryption, where you check character 1 and replace it with a different character.. then check character 2 and replace it with a different character.... etc.... until completing the string?
I tried the strlen() func but to no avail. I am looping through a record set, if the length of a fields string is above a certain character count, say 50, I want to do one think, less than 50 do another?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GET_CategoryCurrentNewsList] @Category VARCHAR AS
BEGIN
SELECT dbo.News_Joined.NewsTitle, dbo.News_Joined.NewsID FROM dbo.News_Joined WHERE (dbo.News_Joined.StartDate <= GETDATE()) AND (dbo.News_Joined.EndDate >= GETDATE()) AND (dbo.News_Joined.CategoryID IN (@Category))
END GO
dbo.news_Joined.CategoryID is an INT, and @Category is a string such as (1000, 1010, 1020). However, no results are returned. I figured I had to do something to do some string conversions from INT to VARCHAR or something, but I can't use CSTR. I do not know how many numbers will be passed to @Category, so making seperate variables isn't an option.
I am having terrible time in converting a string to a datetime field in my asp page. I am keep on getting error on the following stateement. What would be the correct syntax on converting string to datetime for inserting into a sql table?? I did write the add_str out on the browser, everything looks correct...
Error message:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Syntax error converting datetime from character string. Code:
i have a browse button on a web form that the user can upload images via ftp. the user clicks on the browse button to browse a file on his computer and the text field displays the path - "mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg".
i need to get the name of the image and insert the name into my database. so i need to be able to search the string ("mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg") and insert all the characters after the last "" which will give me the image name. ive tried just writing out the string in asp (jscript), but it gives me "mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg" without all the backslashes.
how do i get those backslashes back into the string? my second question is how do i search for the characters after the last backslash? i know i can use a substring on this, but how can i use it for the last backslash?
I have a page that will display a list of locations from an SQL DB. Users need to be able to sort and/or search these locations by industry
Each location has a 4 character desgnation, the 3rd character of which indicates industry. How do I query the DB in an ASP page to recognize ONLY the third character in the string?
say i have a string that is "hello this is my string and i like it very much" and i want to insert a newline at every 20th character, how could i go about doing this?
the arguments "theArray" works fine in my function.
If I build my array with a for next my function (guessing) sees my argument as a string. I have printed out both values and they are exactly the same in appearance.
does ASP have arrays, and if so, can I use an array, inside a loop, to do the following.
x=field name *the field is now comma separated values* while x != rs.EOF take each part of x , put into array. filter recordsetABC with current part of X. display filtered recordset on screen. next x
My syntax is horrible, so ignore that, this is just a theory exercise right now.
