Change response to only respond one set of values - asp-classic

Question

I am very novice at asp. Here is my code:
response.write("<script>")
dim counter: counter = 0
do until rs.EOF
for each x in rs.Fields
counter = counter + 1
response.write "var CC" & counter & "=" & x.value & ";"
next
rs.MoveNext
loop
response.write("</script>")
This currently returns both columns from my DB:
<script>var CC1=ALFKI;var CC2=13579;var CC3=ALFKI;var CC4=246;</script>
I only want the second column to return, which is the numbers (13579 & 246).
What should I change?

Answer 1

Not sure I should be answering this, but to loop and only write out on the even iteration use Mod() to test the remainder.
response.write("<script>")
dim counter: counter = 0
do until rs.EOF
for each x in rs.Fields
counter = counter + 1
'Use Mod() to check counter is even
If counter Mod 2 = 0 Then response.write "var CC" & counter & "=" & x.value & ";"
next
rs.MoveNext
loop
response.write("</script>")

Answer 2

Ad an IF statement, based on your counter.
for each x in rs.Fields
counter = counter + 1
if(counter = 1) then
response.write "var CC" & counter & "=" & x.value & ";"
end if
next

Answer 3

Try this
response.write("<script>")
dim counter: counter = 0
do until rs.EOF
for each x in rs.Fields
counter = counter + 1
if IsNumeric(x.value) then
response.write "var CC" & counter & "=" & x.value & ";"
end if
next
rs.MoveNext
loop
response.write("</script>")
The trick is to check "If IsNumeric" then do what you want.
