Reserved Words In Microsoft Access
I've noticed several posts where people were having trouble accessing an Access Database. In the vast majority of these cases, the problem was the use of a Reserved Word as a database field name. The following are links to KB Articles listing Reserved Words for Access 97 and Access 2002:
Access 97: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q109312/
Access 2002: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q286335/
If you are having trouble with a SQL Statement, and you are fairly certain there is nothing wrong with your statement, check your field names against this list. Using Reserved Words as field names, while not prohibited, is never a good idea.
For example, if you have a field where you want to put someone's name, "Name" is a Reserved Word. A better choice would be something like "UserName" or "PatientsName"; something that identifies the field but doesn't use a Reserved Word.
Regex
I have been trying for days to learn regex, can't seem to get to grips with it at all .
Basically I need to remove all text between strings.
abcdef <mytag>ghijkl</mytag> mnopqr
would be left with
abcdef mnopqr
ASP Regex
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 would like to strip everything off after the month, so I am left with '20 Sep' is there an easy way to do this?
RegEx
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:
Regex
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?
RegEx
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?
Regex
im trying to use Regex to replace some text in my string. I want to replace some text to html tags eg. [b] to <b>, [u] to <u>.
How can I please use like a wildcard for the letter in between the tags. What am i doing wrong in this code, should i replace $1$2 to something else please: Code:
VBScript RegEx
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
RegEx Problems
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 ?
RegEx And .pattern
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 RelatedRegEx.Repalce
i 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.
Quick Regex Question
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.
Checking A String, RegEx
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
Complex Regex Problem
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.
i.e. <a href="blah.htm" id="someLink"> would return
a someLink
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.
Regex Replace Question
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.

Regex :: Grab Any Style Attribute Within HTML That Uses Double Quotes
I have the following regular expression:
re.Pattern = "style[^=]*=[^""]*""[^""]*"""
It will grab any style attribute within HTML that uses double quotes, and put it in the re.Matches collection.Now, I want to include single quotes into this regular expression. Here's what I have so far:
re.Pattern = "style[^=]*=[^""']*(""|')[^1]*1"
but it does not work.

I'm trying to set a session variable where two variables are seperated by a backslash:
Dim a
Dim b
a = Request.QueryString("Class")
b = Request.QueryString("Group")
Session("FTEClassGroup" & y) = a + "/" + b
I can't get this to work? I'm not sure, but is the backslash being seen as a string instead of the actual backslash character?

Character Encoding
I have a partner sending me by post method to an asp page some text (xml
string).
It arrives to my page encoded as follows
%9a%2f%Purchaseorder%3....f
The < and > and spaces are replaced by nuùmbers and percentage sign

I am getting exactly the same string with the encoding
How can tell my asp page to translate the encoded text to normal text?

View Replies View RelatedESCAPE CHARACTER
I'm having a problem finding/using an escape character with this ASP/JScript application I'm creating. Basically I have text sometimes that has apostrophes or double quotations in them, but they won't be INSERTED unless I manually take them out.
Ex: INSERT INTO tbl1 (vendor,reason) VALUES (81,"This is only a test, but there is an apostrophe and it's only going to make things worse.")
That apostrophe in "it's" is kiling everything. I've used the replace method to change it to " ' ", but that STILL doesn't work. I can't find MS SQL's ESCAPE CHARACTER. I've tried several directions of the backslash, but no luck.
Escape Character??
I am trying to only have a link show if there is a certin value in the DB. This is what I am trying:
<% if (rsWelcome.Fields.Item("access_level").Value) = "admin" then
response.Write("| - <a href="sps_main.asp">Sales Training Support </a>-")
end if %>
BUT... this is the error I get:
Expected ')'
/sta/topnav_test.asp, line 9 response.Write("| - <a href="sps_main.asp">Sales Training Support </a>-") How do I use quotes in a "response" and have the app server ignore them??
Unrecognised Character
The application should have a way of alerting the user if it does not recognize a character used by the website and give the user the ability to make adjustments to the unrecognized characters. The system should then remember the characters that have been adjusted by the user.
