replace command

Why doesnt this work in access?

bstring = replace(astring , "<*>", "")

I want to replace a portion of a string between and including the brackets
(html code) and replace it with nothing.

I thought the * was a wild card character.

I searched for regular expressions on the net, but I don't know if I should
be searching for another solution or module that can do this. First I have
to know if the replace command will allow this.

I just found the
microsoft vbscript regular expressions 5.5 reference.

I figured out how to do it.

But how do I make sure this application will work on antoher users machine
who also has the same version of access but is running the MDE I send them.
Is this part of the mde? or do they have to load this reference.

Thanks again

One of my users had a corrupt front end that wouldn't open. My app is launched using a launching application (logon app). The logon app has a button for downloading a "fresh" copy of the front end from the server to the user's PC. I thought that this was a good idea since Access seems susceptible to corruption. I told the user to open the logon form and click the "Download" button, which would then replace the corrupt front end on his...

I need to map several columns of data from one database to another where the data contains multiple spaces (once occurance of a variable number or spaces) that I need to replace with a single space. What would be the most efficient way to do this? I am using SQL2K. I was thinking a function since I know of no single Transact-SQL command that can accomplish this task.

Here is my replace query and I need to run this on every column in my table. Right now I manually enter the column name (_LANGUAGES_SPOKEN) but this is time consuming and would like to automate this process as much as possible. Update PROFILE SET LANGUAGES_SPOKEN = replace(cast(_LANGUAGES_SPOKEN as nvarchar(255)),char(13)+char(10),':') Thanks,

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
