commas

[sweetleaf]

hi there,

I'd like to pass a large string from vb to a web page. the string has been "split" by the split function. The problem is that one of the elements of the string already contains two commas.
how can i remedy this?

any help appreciated, thanks

Is it a problem to pass a string with a comma to a webpage?
Some lines of code will make your problem more clearly.

Maybe server.URLencode() will help you. br

Also remember many Web Servers limit the size of a GET request to about 255 characters. If you have alot of information to pass than you should do a POST request instead. Wushutwist

first, replace the commas in the field with a different character (such as ~)
yourstring = Replace(yourstring, ",", "~&quot

then when you read it replace the ~ with commas:
yourstring = Replace(yourstring, "~", ",&quot
