I have the following code that works very well, the problem is that of i search for say rap it returns back results that contain the words telegraph, grapfruit etc, how can i get it to just return results that have the word rap in the search string anywhere?? - <%
-
Dim strSearch, myarray, strSQL, strSQLExtra
-
If Not Request.Form("search") = "" Then
-
session("search") = Request.Form("search")
-
session("choice") = Request.Form("choice")
-
session("queryterm") = session("queryterm")+" "+Request.Form("search")
-
End If
-
-
'Loop is now in a function, so that we can feed it each field name.
-
Function addparams(fieldname,wordArray)
-
Dim tmp
-
tmp = ""
-
For each item in wordArray
-
tmp = tmp & " (" & fieldname & " Like '%" & item & "%') " & session("choice") & " "
-
next
-
tmp = left(tmp, len(tmp)-4) ' Chops off the last "AND "
-
addparams = tmp
-
End Function
-
-
'Build the word array
-
myarray = split(session("search"), " ")
-
-
'Build the SQL
-
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM mp3 INNER JOIN celebs ON mp3.celebid = celebs.idnumber WHERE ("
-
-
strSQL = strSQL & addparams("filename", myarray) ' change field one!

-
strSQL = strSQL & ") OR ("

-
strSQL = strSQL & addparams("mp3type", myarray) ' change field two!
-
-
strSQL = strSQL & ")order by surname, firstname, filename;"
-
session("sqlset") = strSQL

Hello colinod,
Here is an example that does what your looking to do. -
<%
-
Function WordFinder(FullString, WordToFind)
-
myarray = split(FullString)
-
For each item in myarray
-
If (item = WordToFind) Then
-
WordFinder = "Found!"
-
Exit Function
-
End If
-
next
-
WordFinder = "Not Found."
-
End Function
-
%>
-
<html>
-
<head>
-
<title>Test Page</title>
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
<%
-
If (Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST") Then
-
Response.Write("Looking for [" & Request.Form("xFind") & "]<br />")
-
Response.Write("In [" & Request.Form("xString") & "]<br />")
-
Response.Write(WordFinder(Request.Form("xString"), Request.Form("xFind")))
-
End If
-
%>
-
-
<form method="POST" name="xForm" action="Index.asp">
-
String: <input type="text" name="xString"><br />
-
Find this: <input type="text" name="xFind"><br />
-
<input type="Submit" name="xSubmit" value="Find">
-
</form>
-
</body>
-
</html>
-

in the first box type in "Hello how are you today Michelle" and the second box type in "to". There should be no matches.
then for the second test:
in the first box type in "Hello how are you today Michelle" and the second box type in "today". There should be a match now.
Hope that that helped you out,
CroCrew~

Hello Colinod,
I think you'd have to search for '% rap %' and include the spaces in the search. Like this: -
SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE (([field] LIKE '% rap %') OR ([field] LIKE '% rap%') OR ([field] LIKE '%rap %'))
-
Hope that helps,
CroCrew~

Is it possible to search for exact phrases which include a digit. e.g. "Dublin 1" vrs "Dublin 2" using Mysql fulltext search?
As far as I can tell the digits are considered stop words ( too short ) and are ignored. I have a need to search for those exact phrases - spaces included.
Thanks.

I'm trying to modify a find/replace script which iterates through a file A and makes replacements defined in a csv file B. My original goal was to change any line in file A containing a search string (in whole or as a substring) defined in file B. File B contains both the search string and the string it should be changed into.
Example file A
whippy
slippy
ippy
slippy

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.
