String in ASP

31 New Member
Hi,

How could I find a special character like comma(,) for example in a string in ASp code? Then open an pop up window to show the error message: " The charactor comma(,) is not allowed in this text box!"

Appreciated

It sounds like you would better off doing this with javascript. You can find a character or phrase in another string in ASP but you cannot generate any sort of alert message, only a textual error spat out on the page.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. sVariable = "Some string with a comma,"
  3. If InStr(sVariable,",") > 0 Then
  4.   Response.Write "You are not allowed any commas!"
  5. End If
  6.  
  7.  
Javascript...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var sVariable = 'Some string with a comma,';
  2. if (sVariable.indexOf(',') > 0) {
  3.    alert('You are not allowed any commas!';
  4. }
  5.  
Sincerely,
Mark
