I am looking for a method to extract only the city from an address string in ASP Classic, is there a way I can do this, or resources i can read?
eg: C. del Esperanto, 17B, 03503 Benidorm, Alicante, Spain.
I want just Benidorm, the address strings will always be in the same format
Split on comma, then on the 3rd one (2 in the array), split on space, and take the second (1 in array)
Give this a try
addressSplit1 = Split(address, ",")
addressSplit2 = Split(addressSplit1(2), " ")
city = addressSplit2(1)

So I am going off memory here because I cannot see the code I am trying to figure this out for at the moment, but I am working with some old VB Script code where there is a data connection that is set like this:
set objCommand = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.command")
and I have a field from the database that is being stored in a variable like this:
Items = RsData(“Item”).
This specific field in the database is a long string of
text:
(i.e. “This is part of a string of text…Header One: Here is text after header one… Header Two: Here is more text after header two”).
There are certain parts of the text that I wish to store as a variable that are between two index positions in the long string of text within that field. They are separated by headers that are stored in the text field above like this: “Header One:” and “Header Two:”, and I want to capture all text that occurs in between those two headers of text and store them into their own variable (i.e. “Here is text after header one…”).
How do I achieve this? I have tried to use the InStr method to set the index but from how I understand how this works it will only count the beginning of where a specific part of the string occurs. Am I wrong in my thinking of this? Since that is the case, I am also having trouble getting the Mid function to work. Can some one please show me an example of how this is supposed to work? Remember, I am only going off of memory so please forgive me that I am unable to provide better code examples now. I hope my question makes sense!
I am hopeful that someone can help me with an answer tonight so I can try this out tomorrow when I am near the code again! Thank you for your efforts and any help offered!
You can extract all the substrings starting with the text Header and ending just before either the next Header or end-of-string. I have used regular expression to implement that and it is working for me. Have a look at the code below. If I get a simpler(non-regex solution), I will update the answer.
Code:
strTest = "Header One: Some random text Header Two: Some more text Header One: Some random textwerwerwefvxcf234234 Header Three: Some more t2345fsdfext Header Four: Some randsdfsdf3w42343om text Header Five: Some more text 123213"
set objReg = new Regexp
objReg.Global = true
objReg.IgnoreCase = false
objReg.pattern = "Header[^:]+:([\s\S]*?)(?=Header|$)" '<---Regex Pattern. Explained later.
set objMatches = objReg.Execute(strTest)
Dim arrHeaderValues() '<-----This array contains all the required values
i=-1
for each objMatch in objMatches
i = i+1
Redim Preserve arrHeaderValues(i)
arrHeaderValues(i) = objMatch.subMatches.item(0) '<---item(0) indicates the 1st group of each match
next
'Displaying the array values
for i=0 to ubound(arrHeaderValues)
msgbox arrHeaderValues(i)
next
set objReg = Nothing
Regex Explanation:
Header - matches Header literally
[^:]+: - matches 1+ occurrences of any character that is not a :. This is then followed by matching a :. So far, keeping the above 2 points in mind, we have matched strings like Header One:, Header Two:, Header blabla123: etc. Now, whatever comes after this match is relevant to us. So we will capture that inside a Group as shown in the next breakup.
([\s\S]*?)(?=Header|$) - matches and captures everything(including newlines) until either the next Header or the end-of-the-string(represented by $)
([\s\S]*?) - matches 0+ occurrences of any character and capture the whole match in Group 1
(?=Header|$) - match and capture the above thing until another instance of the string Header or end of the string

Alternative Solution(non-regex):
strTest = "Header One: Some random text Header Two: Some more text Header One: Some random textwerwerwefvxcf234234 Header Three: Some more t2345fsdfext Header Four: Some randsdfsdf3w42343om text Header Five: Some more text 123213"
arrTemp = split(strTest,"Header") 'Split using the text Header
j=-1
Dim arrHeaderValues()
for i=0 to ubound(arrTemp)
strTemp = arrTemp(i)
intTemp = instr(1,strTemp,":") 'Find the position of : in each array value
if(intTemp>0) then
j = j+1
Redim preserve arrHeaderValues(j)
arrHeaderValues(j) = mid(strTemp,intTemp+1) 'Store the desired value in array
end if
next
'Displaying the array values
for i=0 to ubound(arrHeaderValues)
msgbox arrHeaderValues(i)
next
If you don't want to store the values in an array, you can use Execute statement to create variables with different names during run-time and store the values in them. See this and this for reference.
Required suggestion on below part.please any one give solution.
We have mapping from 850 to FlatFile
X12/PO1Loop1/PO1/PO109 and I need to map to field VALUE which is under record Option which is unbounded.
Split PO109 into substrings delimited by '.', foreach subsring after the first, create new Option with value=substring
So in input sample we have value like 147895632qwerqtyuui.789456123321456987
Similarly the field repeats under POLoop1.
So I need to split value based on (.) then pass a value to value field under option record(unbounded).
I tried using below code snippet
public string SplitValues(string strValue)
{
string[] arrValue = strValue.Split(".".ToCharArray());
foreach (string strDisplay in arrValue)
{
return strDisplay;
}
}
But it doesn't works, and I am not really familiar with the String methods and I am not sure if there's an easy way to do this. I have a String which contains couple of values delimited with "." .
So I need to separate values based on delimiter(.) and pass value to field.
How can I do this
As I mentioned, not too clear what is your objective, but I think you want to split a node that has some kind of delimiter into multiple nodes... if so, Try this: https://seroter.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/splitting-delimited-values-in-biztalk-maps/
He is doing exactly that. Given a node with a|b|c|d as value, output multiple nodes, each containing the value after splitted by |, so node1 = a, node2 = b, node3 = c, node4 = d.
I have a string that at any point may or may not contain one or more / characters. I'd like to be able to create a new string based on this string. The new string would include every character after the very last / in the original string.
Sounds like you're wanting the file name from a URL. In any case, it's the same function. The key is using the InStrRev function to find the first / char, but starting from the right. Here's the function:
Function GetFilename(URL)
Dim I
I = InStrRev(URL, "/")
If I > 0 Then
GetFilename = Mid(URL, I + 1)
Else
GetFilename = URL
End If
End Function
Split it up into parts and get the last part:
a = split("my/string/thing", "/")
wscript.echo a(ubound(a))
note: Not safe when the string is empty.
I have a DateTime value pulled from a field in an MSSQL database I want to split this and remove all delimiters so that I have just a string of the date.
So: 2012-11-06 14:36:20.810
Becomes: 20121106143620810
Ideally, I don't want the milliseconds either......
So: 2012-11-06 14:36:20.810
Becomes: 20121106143620
I am using Classic ASP for this application.
Any ideas?
Quick and dirty:
dateFromDB = "2012-11-06 14:36:20.810"
formatedDate = Replace(dateFromDB, "-","")
formatedDate = Replace(formatedDate, ":","")
formatedDate = Replace(formatedDate, " ","")
formatedDate = Left(formatedDate, Len(formatedDate)-4)
Of course you can optimize it in various ways, but this will get the job done
Keep this value in string and remove all special characters.
If you don't want milliseconds then remove the last 3 characters also.
I have a dropdownlist that has the value of two columns in it... One column is a number ranging from 5 characters long to 8 characters long then a space then the '|' character and another space, followed by a Description for the set of numbers.
An example:
12345678 | Description of Product
In order to pull the items for the dropdownlist into my database I need a to utilize a substring to pull the sequence of numbers out only.
Is it possible to write a substring to pull multiple character lengths? (Sometimes it may be 6 numbers, sometimes 5 numbers, sometimes 8, it would depend on what the user selected from the dropdownlist.)
Use a regular expression for this.
Assuming the number is at the start of the string, you can use the following:
^[0-9]+
Usage:
var theNumbers = RegEx.Match(myDropdownValue, "^[0-9]+").Value;
You could also use string.Split to get the parts separated by | if you know the first part is what you need and will always be numeric:
var theNumbers = myDropdownValue.Split("| ".ToCharArray(),
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)[0];
Either of these approaches will result in a string. You can use int.Parse on the result in order to get an integer from it.
This is how I would do it
string str = "12345678 | Description of Product";
int delimiter;
delimiter = str.IndexOf("|") - 1;
string ID =str.substring(0, delimiter);
string desc = str.substring(delimiter + 1, str.length - 1);
Try using a regex to pull out the first match of a sequence of numbers of any length. The regex will look something like "^\d+" - starts with any number of decimal digits.
Instead of using substring, you should use Split function.
var words = phrase.Split(new string[] {" | "},
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var number = word[0];
