Asp If statement with condition

[fran7]

Hi, I have this IF statement

                    <%
If rsCard("DefaultMessage")="e-card" Then
%>
 
 
<a href="cards.asp?Post=<%=rsCard("Post")%>">
<%
Else
%>
<a href="gallery.asp?author=<%=rsCard("author")%>">
<%
End If
%>
 
<I><%=rsCard("DefaultMessage")%></I><a> 

The default message will include other text apart from the word e-card. What I need is for the IF statement to say. IF the default message includes the word e-card in it somewhere, then xxxxxx else xxxxxxxx
and not if it is equal to e-card.
Anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks for any help in advance.
Richard

Sure it is... Use the InStr method.

<%
'If the word "e-card" appears in rsCart("DefaultMessage") at least once..
If InStr(rsCard("DefaultMessage"),"e-card") > 0 Then
%>
<a href="cards.asp?Post=<%=rsCard("Post")%>">
<%
'if it does not include the word "e-card" at least once...
Else
%>
<a href="gallery.asp?author=<%=rsCard("author")%>">
<%
End If
%>
<I><%=rsCard("DefaultMessage")%></I><a>
 

Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Mark
