This VBScrip is included on an html form. I'm searching for a function that will allow me to do a "like" statement. I receive a runtime error with the following:

<%
If Request.Form(&quot;IPMName&quot;) like &quot; and &quot; Then
Response.Write &quot;2&quot;
Else
Response.Write &quot;1&quot;
End if %>

Suggestions would be appreciated!

VBScript does not support the LIKE operator but there are ways around this. Check this site and it will show you examples of doing this comparison.
I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

I wrote a example if you need to refernce one.
you would use it like this in your .asp
<%
x = Request.Form(&quot;IPMName&quot;)
if Instr(1, X, &quot;and&quot;) > 0 then
msgbox &quot;IPMName is like AND&quot;
end if
%>
here's client side example:
<html>
<head>
<script language=&quot;Vbscript&quot;>
sub check()
x = one.box.value
if Instr(1, X, &quot;and&quot;) > 0 then
msgbox &quot;IPMName is like AND&quot;
end if
end sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name=&quot;one&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;box&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; onClick=&quot;check()&quot;>
</form>
</body>
</html> I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

I toy with VB more than I have of VBScript or HTML--so this is what I have changed my code to read, still having problems. --But thanks for that website, it is helpful...

<%
If Request.Form(&quot;IPMName&quot;) inStr &quot; and &quot; Then
Response.Write &quot;2&quot;
Else
Response.Write &quot;1&quot;
End if %>

Nor does this work:
<%
If inStr (Request.Form(&quot;IPMName&quot;)) &quot; and &quot; Then
Response.Write &quot;2&quot;
Else
Response.Write &quot;1&quot;
End if %>

Do I need an HTML lesson???

try this

<%
x = Request.Form(&quot;IPMName&quot;)
if Instr(1, X, &quot;and&quot;) > 0 then
Response.Write &quot;2&quot;
Else
Response.Write &quot;1&quot;
End if
% I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

that response.write is backwards from what you want I think
I think you want to have 1 if it is like and 2 not then it should look like this

if Instr(1, X, &quot;and&quot;) > 0 then
Response.Write &quot;1&quot;
Else
Response.Write &quot;2&quot;

I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.
