Highlight keywords in classic ASP - asp-classic

I have this sentense, "The man went outside".
I also have 4 search criterias I would like to get highligted (ignore the brackets), [went|"an WeNT o"|a|t] with [span id="something"][/span].
I have tried out a lot of stuff but I can't figure out how to do this in classic ASP!? If I insert a somewhere in the text, it will search the HTML code for SPAN too, which is bad or it will not find the text as it has been messed up with HTML code. I also tried inserting on all positions in the original text and even with some magic regular expression which I do not understand but I can't get this working :-/
The search-thing is divided with | and can be anything from 1 to 20 things to search for.
Can anyone help me solving how to do this?

I found and tweaked some code and it works perfectly for me:
Function highlightStr (haystack, needles)

' INPUT: haystack = search in this string

If Len(haystack) > 0 Then
' Delete the first and the last array separator "|" (if any)

' Delete the exact-search chars (if any)

' Escape all special regular expression chars

re.Global = True

calculate the percentage of not null recs in a file in unix

How do i figure out the percentage of not null records in my file in UNIX?
My file like this: I wanted to know the amount of records & the percentage of not null rec's. Tried whole lot of grep n cut commands but nothing seems to be working out. Can anyone help me here please...
"name","country","age","place"
"sam","US","30","CA"
"","","",""
"joe","UK","34","BRIS"
,,,,
"jake","US","66","Ohio"
Perl solution:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use 5.012; # say, keys #arr
use Text::CSV_XS qw{ csv };
my ($count_all, #count_nonempty);
csv(in => shift,
out => \ 'skip',
headers => 'skip',
on_in => sub {
my (undef, $columns) = #_;
++$count_all;
length $columns->[$_] and $count_nonempty[$_]++
for 0 .. $#$columns;
},
);
for my $column (keys #count_nonempty) {
say "Column ", 1 + $column, ": ",
100 * $count_nonempty[$column] / $count_all, '%';
}
It uses Text::CSV_XS to read the CSV file. It skips the header line, and for each subsequent line, it calls the callback specified in on_in, which increments the count of all lines and also the count of empty fields per column if the length of a field is zero.
Along with choroba, I would normally recommend using a CSV parser on CSV data.
But in this case, all we want to look for is that a record contains any character that is not a comma or quote: if a record contains only commas and/or quotes, it is a "null" record.
awk '
/[^",]/ {nonnull++}
END {printf "%d / %d = %.2f\n", nonnull, NR, nonnull/NR}
' file
To handle leading/trailing whitespace
awk '
{sub(/^[[:blank:]]+/,""); sub(/[[:blank:]]+$/,"")}
/[^",]/ {nonnull++}
END {printf "%d / %d = %.2f\n", nonnull, NR, nonnull/NR}
' file
If allowing fields containing only whitespace, such as
" ","",,," "
is also a null record, we can simple ignore all whitespace
awk '
/[^",[:blank:]]/ {nonnull++}
END {printf "%d / %d = %.2f\n", nonnull, NR, nonnull/NR}
' file

How to get r to read 'date taken' of a JPG file

I could use some help performing a database correction, in regards to date and time of pictures were taken.
Essentially, the research we perform entails taking many pictures and entering the picture information into a database (we automated this with Microsoft Access). However, I performed a random check of our database and found that several dates and times of the photos were incorrect, and I am attempting to correct this via R as I was unable to correct it via Access.
What I need to do is to is write a script that reads these data, and compiles a list of the date taken information for all photos (there are several thousand). So far the best thing that I've found is
file.info(list.files(
"E:/Whatcom Creek Project/Data/Seal photos/Discovery/Catalog/Phoca vitulina",
recursive = T))
However this returns a list of NA NA for all information. Also, if I manually select one image to run file.info on, it doesn't return date taken (see the picture for the data I am attempting to retrieve)
If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears. Thanks in advance!!

maybe still of any use?
i saw this message. I solved this a long time ago (2011) with a very basic VB6 code. The job is still working, but it is not applicable to all '.jpg files'. It depends with what camera the picture has been taken, but mostly pictures taken from a smartphone and classic camera's are returning the date the picture has been taken (not usable for whatsapp images or edited images).
The code is here below, and it is very basic code (but i hope it still can help or give idea's, and ... any new idea's are welcome too) :
'Reading of "Date Picture Taken" from .jpg file
'-----------------------------------------------
Debug.Print ">>>>>==== Start Read of .jpg-file ===== "; Date; " ===== "; Time; " ====<<<<<"
X = 0
DatePictureTaken = ""
TimePictureTaken = ""
FOUNDdatum = False
SWdatum = False
TELdatum = 0
Foto = FOLDER & "\" & tabFileName(FotoNr)
Open Foto For Binary Access Read As #1
'get startposition of the field "date picture taken"

X = X + 1
Get #1, X, MyByte ': Debug.Print Chr(MyByte);
DoEvents
If Chr(MyByte) = ":" Then

'if a ':' is on the 3 locations (found above) then it is a date!
If SWdatum _
Then
TELdatum = TELdatum + 1
End If
'the 3e date is the date the picture has been taken
If TELdatum = 3 _
Then
FOUNDdatum = True
X = X - 4
Exit Do
End If
X = X + 12
End If
Loop Until EOF(1) 'Or X = 32765
If FOUNDdatum = False Then Close 1: End
BPdatum = X

For X = BPdatum To EPdatum

'Debug.Print Chr(MyByte)

symbols being printed when english alphabet wanted

I am writing this code and have recently come across an error. I have no idea why this is happening. In theory, the english alphabet should be being printed. However, instead of the english alphabet, symbols are being printed instead.
I can not paste the symbols for some reason, but if you ran the code yourself, you'll understand what I mean.
My full code is posted below.
alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"
choice = input("Would you like to encrypt or decrypt? [e/d]: ")
if choice == "e":
message = input("Please insert the message you would like to use: ")
keyword = input("Please insert the keyword you would like to use: ")
ik = len(keyword)
i = 0
string = ''
for A in message:
message1 = (ord(A)) - 96
key1 = (ord(keyword[i])) - 96
addition = message1 + key1
string += (chr(addition))
if i >= ik:
i = 0
else:
i += 1
print (string)
You need to add back the 96 you originally took away :) Alternatively, use the Caesar cipher formula as adding back 96 will still result in symbols appearing (I did the ocr coursework already)
addition = message1 + key1 + 96
your code will not work if the keyword is shorter than the message, so use the modulo operator (%) on i with the length of the keyword inside the line:
key1 = (ord(keyword[i])) - 96

Generate Conditional Code From String

I want to generate conditional code of the string, which will check the string. An example is the following string
sampleString = "C123 A091 A111 A122 B120 B309 C000"
and examples of conditional string I have is as follows
example 1 :
A123 + B123 would I generate as
if sampleString.contains ("A123") And sampleString.contains ("B123") Then
'doSomething
else
'doSomething
end if
example 2 :
A111+A122+(B120/-C123)
if sampleString.contains ("A111") And sampleString.contains ("A122") And (sampleString.contains ("B120") Or Not sampleString.contains ("C123")) Then
'doSomething
else
'doSomething
end if
Plus (+) means AND
Minus (-) means NOT
Slash (/) means OR
Will I be able to do this in VB.Net?
Use Regex to solve the Contains problem by finding the matches and replace them with 1 or 0.
Dim sample As String = "C123 A091 A111 A122 B120 B309 C000"
Dim input As String = "A111 + A122 + ( B120/- C123)"
Dim nRegex As New Regex("\w+", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Dim nMatches As MatchCollection = nRegex.Matches(input)
For Each nMatch As Match In nMatches
input = input.Replace(nMatch.Value, IIf(sample.Contains(nMatch.Value), "1", "0"))
Next
Now replace the special characters you have with ones that can actually give you the right result when evaluated as a math expression (Since logic is originally math).
input = input.Replace(" ", "")
input = input.Replace("+", "*")
input = input.Replace("/", "+")
input = input.Replace("-1", "0").Replace("-0", "1")
after all this you will get this expression :
1*1*(1+0)
You can now use any math evaluator as suggested in this Answer. If the result you get is bigger than zero means Its logically True. Otherwise False

writing csv adds extra lines

I've to write a csv for a third-party upload. They're saying they can't read the csv file created because it has two extra lines of code and doesn't end (when opened in Notepad) on the last character of the last line. That's true - but can anyone tell me why?
Dim _csvLine As New System.IO.StreamWriter(Server.MapPath("~/folder/_" & rptType.SelectedItem.Value.ToString & ".csv"), False)
Dim tb As New StringBuilder
Dim x As Integer = ds.Tables("csv").Columns.Count, y As Integer = 1
For Each row As Data.DataRow In ds.Tables("csv").Rows
For Each col As Data.DataColumn In ds.Tables("csv").Columns
If y <> x Then
tb.Append(Trim(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(row.Item(col).ToString, "\s+", " ", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase Or RegexOptions.Multiline)) & ",")
y = y + 1
Else
tb.Append(Trim(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(row.Item(col).ToString, "\s+", " ", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase Or RegexOptions.Multiline)))
tb.AppendLine()
y = 1
End If
Next
Next
_csvLine.WriteLine(Left(tb.ToString, Len(tb.ToString) - 2))
_csvLine.Flush()
_csvLine.Close()
_csvLine.Dispose()
One line is appended by _csvLine.WriteLine, use Write() instead.
tb.AppendLine() adds the second line, try avoiding it on the last line.
You're doing _csvLine.WriteLine( which is gonna add a linebreak to the end of the file.
