i don't know what to do here exactly.
i have seen the TRIM function, but i'm not sure if it's the right way to do it.
i have a recordset called RSUSEREDIT.
in the recordset there is a column called "EMail".
i can print out the results using Code:
<%=RSUSEREDIT("Email")%>
the email column always uses the same domain name... - username@domain.com
is it possible to remove the part after and including the "@"?
I know that trim removes white space and the LTrim and R trim removes space from the left or right but how would i trim a string after 20 characters so that i could add ... to the end of the new trimmed string???
Both commas are added dynamically and can be trimmed on the fly. I tried using RTRIM(strSQL, ",") but this didn't work.I put the fields into an array and tried to add only commas to all but the last entry, but that also didn't work.
I have a database field that is a memo type. I would like to be able to only display the first 50 words from the database. I would like for it to show ..... after about 50 words.
I am using <%=Content %>. How do I trim this field to show only 50 words and then ....?
I tried the following code: Function LengthTrim(input, length) If Len(input) > length Then Return Left(input, length) + "..." Else Return input End If End Function
then <%= LengthTrim(Content, 50) %>
But it would not work. I got the following error message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'Variable is undefined: 'Return' .
I am storing URL in a database for a 'sort of' directory type website.The <a href> is built from the recordset of URL's which is all working no problem, easy stuff.What I have found is going to be necessary in some cases is to trim the URL back to just it's www.abc.co.uk address for the link display.
I still want the actual link to go to it's long 'deep linking' location, but there is limited room for displaying a URL that could be a hundred chars long.
I have a section on my website that lets users to input their own username and password in order to enter the restricted area, but i notice that some of the users likes to use strange characters to use as their username or password.
how could I trim those strange characters ie. like the follow !@#$%^&*()'{}/?~ out of the input field, WITHOUT using the javascript because javascript can be disabled from the browser and by only using the ASP IF ELSEIF statements to do so?
I have an Access db of products which I'd like to use for creating dynamic urls. Each product has a range name which I intend to use to point to the folder containing the relevant image eg pine/001.jpg
My problem is one of the ranges has two names ie Indian Accessories. I can't have a url with a space in it so how can I dynamically alter the field so that it displays the url as either indianaccessories or indian-accessories?
Someone should write a book Javascript for VBScript Programmers. I can't seem to find a native function in Javascript to trim a string. Is there one or does anyone have one handy?
i have a search page results what i want to do is trim the result to 100 chars either side of the matched word but say if the word is at the start or end just to trim 100 chars left or right. does anyone have a function that will do this ?
I am trying to make a search page. Once a serach word or words is put in I need it to serach multiple product tables and output the description of any prioduct if the search word is present in the description.
However, If i put in 2 keywords like "paper sticker" I get no results. How do you search multiple keywords? Code:
i have a record that is returned by the database as domain/username. i want to be able to strip off "domain/" and just display "username". is this possible? if so, how would i go about doing this?
I have a URL... everything returned by the url, I need to write to a file. lets say its 40 lines of text... how can I write it to a text file and save it??
I'm creating a site that pulls details from a database & display it on screen. Problem is that there's sometimes loads of data which makes the page huge. What I want it to do is display ten and a next page link to display the next ten. Like the way Google displays results. Problem is I don't know how to generate pages on the fly. So the question is can it be done and does ne1 know how to do it?
First, thanks to all who have helped me over the last few weeks !! I have a form that allows the user to select multiple options. These are user names:
Fred S Bob D Paul G Dave O
When the form is submitted, I'm getting the details using
user = request.form("user")
this is returning the mutliple options. What I would like to do is pass all the options to 'user' but at one point on the results page only show the first user selected, not the multiple selection
what is an easy way to go about sorting my search results through links, you know, like clicking the link at the top of a column. i know how to pass the order by in a querystring:
but what about all the other links? what do I do with the previous querystring entries like lastname, firstname, and state? i find if i add orderlast to my lastname column and i click on it, i will have 2 orderlast querystrings
I'm using multiple recordsets on a page, and they are all returning correct results and enough of them. My problem is when I try to access the recordcount property rs.recordcount, they all return a result of -1. This would usually mean that no records are returned. So why is showing my recordsets that are displaying records with recordcounts of -1. I can't seem to figure out.
I know how to display results that contain html code on a page. (ie. <br> <b>...)
what i would like to know, is if a result contains bbc code (ie.. [code] [url]..) how would i display that to be readable?
This is not for a forum, but would be the same as if i was writting a forum. I think there is a script that the page has to contain to be able to read it correctly, but I can't find it.
My SQL statement won't return results where any field in a record is blank. What can I do to fix this?
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM newarchive WHERE Program_Title LIKE '%" & program & "%' AND Year_Aired LIKE '%" & yearA & "%' AND Sponsor LIKE '%" & sponsor & "%' AND Month_Aired LIKE '%" & monthA & "%' ORDER BY ID"
It gets its values from a form where some fields can be left blank. If the record itself does not have a blank field, the search will pick it up. But if the record contains a blank field, then it won't be selected unless it matches the Program_Title data.
I know how to use the LIKE command in a query but how do I do it in the results of a recordset results="<b>Hello</b> World"
I want to search the above result and if it has a <B> in it, I want set hasabold="Y"
I need to be able to search through a large amount of text so the BOLD marks will not always be at the front of the results. They maybe be on line 50 character 59,
I have programmed several online forms(typically using cgi).A client of mine does not like how the results are formated (the long column of text)Is there anything I can do to program the results of this online form to get put into another format that would be e-mailed to the receipient?
i have a results page on a webpage and i was wondering if it was possible to dump these results (they are stored in a database)into a excel spread sheet?
