checking if string has certain text in it

[gio2888]

Hi, this is what I want to do. Say I have url strings

s = "

http://www.something.com/portal.asp?category=dhl"

t = "

http://www.yahoo.com"

I want to use a if statement to check if the string has the part "portal.asp?category=". So in this case string s will return true...since it has that segment of text. String t will be false.

if s "this is the part I need" then

Thanks
Wayne

you could do a match like this
<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
Dim regEx, Match, Matches
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Pattern = &quot;portal\.asp\?category\=&quot;
regEx.IgnoreCase = True
regEx.Global = true
str = &quot;

http://www.something.com/portal.asp?category=dhl&quot;

Set Matches = regEx.Execute(str)
For Each Match in Matches
newstr = newstr & Match.Value
Next
alert newstr
</script> A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

Use the inStr function:

s = &quot;

http://www.something.com/portal.asp?category=dhl&quot;;

t = &quot;

http://www.yahoo.com&quot;;

if inStr(s, &quot;portal.asp?category&quot then
' String contains text
else
' String doesn't contain text
end if Mighty
