Look up these functions in online help (http://tinyurl.com/7rk6)
Instr, Left, InstrRev and Mid

If this does not help, show us your code.
(No, you're theory does not make any sense, without being able to see your
code.)

hi,

I have a variable which has lots of text (html code more specifically)
assigned to it. What I need to do is to strip away large chunks of it from
the beginning and end of it.

I need to recognise some div tags as the beginning and end of the string and
to throw everything else away. I have no guarantees that the surrounding
text will be the same each time it is used. So does anybody know how to seek
out and find some characters and strip everything before it and then to find
a closing tag and strip everything after it.

The problem I am currently having is a puzzling one, if i strip away text
from a hard coded variable, everything gets posted to my database just fine,
however when i try it on my form retrieved string variable my start position
is always '0', indicating that the text i am seeking has not been found.

My theory is that the search will not read new lines, and is only reading
the very first line of text from the string and nothing else.

Does anybody know if this is a correct theory, and if so how I can get my
search coding to go onto the next line?


any help would be greatly appreciated

I haven't used regular expressions, and neither are you, so it's not really
relevant.
I'd start by setting your StartVal = Instr(NewVar,"id=iView")-5

Everything looks right to me, so I'd take a close look at the NewVar to
ensure that what's in there is what you expect.

I have already made sure that the code is being assigned.

I have already done a response.write, and since before i added the search
code I was posting the raw unedited variable into a database, I know that
the variable has data assigned to it.

Also If I do defined trim beginning and end it works fine.
So the problem is within the counting operation, the search itself, it isn't
finding the code i am specifying for some reason, I have no idea why this is
the case.

Everytime I try to post my code snippets into this Outlook window (i am
viewing this as a newsgroup via outlook), it tries to post it as code to be
interpreted. Thats why i put it up on my website and suggested somebody look
at around line 400.

Somebody on 4guysfromrolla said: 'I assume you're using regular expressions?
you know you can specify the multiline property, right?'

anyone know what he means by multiline property???

Steven Nash

cheers.

any information on this multiline property?
its the only thing I can see it being, why else would it not go to the next
line of my string?

I was concerned that spaces or other characters may have been the problem
with your "Instr" so I suggested looking for id=iView (which would be
unique...right) and subtracting 5 to get to the beginning of the <div>
< d i v id=iView>
5 4 3 2 1

That was my thinking anyway.
