Good Evening,
I would like to insert a 5 letter word into a 100 letter string, but only 1
letter at a time, and each letter separated by 10 characters!!! :) Using
Alpha characters only, no numbers or punctuation in either string. The
first letter needs to use the DAY OF THE MONTH number as its insertion
point...
So the string HELLO would be inserted on the 15th day of the month as
follows:
H inserted after character 14 of the 100 letter string
E inserted after character 24 of the 100 letter string
L inserted after character 34 of the 100 letter string
L inserted after character 44 of the 100 letter string
O inserted after character 54 of the 100 letter string
The final string will therefore be 105 characters in length! It's to help
design a children's maze puzzle on a fun and games web site.
Thanks for your time,
James.

I don't remember a whole lot about ASP... but i would guess something
with the following pseudocode would work
1. create character array of 105 characters
1.1 initialize array of characters to all spaces (' ')
2. get what day of month today is (ie 15, or 10, or 8)
3. chararray[dayofmonth] = 'h'
4. chararray[dayofmonth+10] = 'e'
5. chararray[dayofmonth+20] = 'l'
6. chararray[dayofmonth+30] = 'l'
7. chararray[dayofmonth+40] = 'o'
i think vb addresses arrays with () notation (so chararray(dayofmonth)
= 'h'), and dayofmonth would be an integer value with whatever the
current day is.
Hope this helps you get started, if you need more help e-mail me at
darrenkopp [at] gmail [dot] com and i will dig into some ol' ASP and
refresh my brain.

Should this be "character 24" of the original 100 letter string?
Or character 24 of the new string formed in step 1?
I will assume the former

As Juan said: microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general
Something like this:
<html><body style="font-family:courier"></body></html>
<%
dim s, j,k
for k = 0 to 9
for j = 1 to 9
s = s & j
next
s = s & "0"
next
Response.Write s & "<BR>"
response.write newstring("HELLO", s)
function newstring(insert, bigstring)
dim start, i, tmp, offset
start=day(date)
tmp=left(bigstring,(start-1))
bigstring = mid(bigstring,start)
for i = 1 to len(insert)-1
offset=10 * (i - 1)
tmp= tmp & mid(insert,i,1) & _
left(bigstring,9)
bigstring = mid(bigstring,10)
next
newstring = tmp & bigstring
end function
%>

Since it uses an array, this may perform better:
<html><body style="font-family:courier"></body></html>
<%
dim s, j,k
for k = 0 to 9
for j = 1 to 9
s = s & j
next
s = s & "0"
next
Response.Write s & "<BR>"
response.write InsString("HELLO", s)
function InsString(insert,byval bigstring)
dim arString(), i
redim arString(2*len(insert))
for i = 1 to len(insert)
arString(2*i-1)=mid(insert,i,1)
next
dim start, offset
start=day(date)
arString(0)= left(bigstring,start-1)
offset = 0
for i = 2 to ubound(arString) - 2 step 2
offset = 9*i\2 - 9
arString(i) = mid(bigstring,start+offset,9)
next
arString(ubound(arString)) = mid(bigstring,start+offset +9)
InsString=join(arString,"")
end function

I'm glad i just wrote some pseudocode :D... though i'm still not sure
if my pseudocode is what you did or not... it's been a long day.

No, it's a little different, but your post did give me the idea.
