Get Part of URL? 1

[Rob7412]

I need to get part of a URL so I can do a DB lookup on it for example I have the following url:

https://my-site.com/WVP720/step1.as...rmMachineID=CE9F-1EF3-E968-6ED6&frmVersion=V5

I need to get the "WVP720" part of the url so I can match it up from a db lookup. Anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks

Have you examined the Request.ServerVariables collection?


If not, make a little ASP named sv.asp and paste the following code:

<%
For Each foo in Request.ServerVariables 
    Response.Write foo & " = " & Request(foo) & "<br>" & vbCrLf 
Next
%>

Now put it on your web server and browse to the page....
your problems will be solved.

Try using the split function.

Response.Write(Split("[ignore]

https://my-site.com/WVP720/step1.asp?

frmSiteCode=blah[/ignore]", "/")([!]3[/!]))

Split will return an array of strings. In this case, you'll want the 4th element (which has an index of 3).

Make sense?
