String in ASP

[F159753]

Hi,

How could I find a special character like comma(,) for example in a string in ASp code? Then open an pop up window to show the error message: " The charactor comma(,) is not allowed in this text box!"

Appreciated
Fay

It sounds like you would better off doing this with javascript. You can find a character or phrase in another string in ASP but you cannot generate any sort of alert message, only a textual error spat out on the page.

[code=asp]

sVariable = "Some string with a comma,"
If InStr(sVariable ,",") > 0 Then
Response.Write "You are not allowed any commas!"
End If

[/code]

Javascript...

[code=javascript]
var sVariable = 'Some string with a comma,';
if (sVariable.inde xOf(',') > 0) {
alert('You are not allowed any commas!';
}
[/code]

Sincerely,
Mark
