ASP Help Needed

Thorondorito · Oct 9, 2006

Hi guys.

Im developing some intranet app and I need to parse a string into an array in ASP.

For example, given the following string:

"wpeoriuweporwwlrjwelkj werujwpejrwe werjwejrwpr weporuweporuw
wperiwpoeriw priwporiweporiw rwpoirwpoe rwporiw rwporiwpoeri wep
wperoiweporiw rpwirwpoidslalsdm asmda,s.dmqpwmd dpqklwdñq wl
qpowdqpowid qwpoidqpowiqpo dqpowidopqwid qwpodiqw pdiqwpodi
blablablabla blablablablablablablabla blablablablablablablabla"

What I need is an array containing 1 line for each string line (\n). Is it possible in ASP?

Thanks in advance!

use perl and its a piece of piss, one line of code should do it.

how are you receiving the info you need to parse? what format do you want the output in?

I havent used asp for ages but it definately is possible.

Code:

Dim arrayLines, oneLine, originalString

originalString = "wpeoriuweporwwlrjwelkj werujwpejrwe werjwejrwpr weporuweporuw\n
wperiwpoeriw priwporiweporiw rwpoirwpoe rwporiw rwporiwpoeri wep\n
wperoiweporiw rpwirwpoidslalsdm asmda,s.dmqpwmd dpqklwdñq wl\n
qpowdqpowid qwpoidqpowiqpo dqpowidopqwid qwpodiqw pdiqwpodi\n
blablablabla blablablablablablablabla blablablablablablablabla"

arrayLines = Split(originalString, "\n", -1, 1)

For Each oneLine in arrayLines
  Response.Write(oneLine)
  Response.Write("<br>")
Next

That should work... I'll test it in a min and get back to you

cant remember what the newline character is in asp...

but that works you just need to find out what the character is.

its the visual basic line break afaik "vbCrLf"

rofl how unintuitive is that? :/

chr(13) is line feed
chr(10) is carriage return, or the other way around

That's a nice aproximation. But I can't find the eof character in vbasic script.
Btw, the string is given from a form text field.

Thanks Doc.

Ok. It works for chr(10).

Thanks a lot guys!

EOF are you trying to open a file now?

Here ya go; a form that when submitted puts each new line into an array and prints out each member of the array on a different line in html.

Code:

<% Option Explicit %>
<%
If Request.Form("text") <> "" then

  Dim arrayLines, oneLine, originalString

  originalString = Request.Form("text")
  Response.Write(originalString & "<br>")
  arrayLines = Split(originalString, vbCrLf, -1, 1)

  For Each oneLine in arrayLines
    Response.Write(oneLine)
    Response.Write("<br>")
  Next

Else
%>
<html>
  <form action="test2.asp" method="post">
    <textarea name="text"></textarea>
    <input type="submit" />
  </form>
</html>
<%
End If
%>

definately works
