Removing unwanted characters

[Ragol1]

I use this code to display a users name but if there is a space or some type of character it displays all sorts of characters, I just want it to display just what its reading.


for i = 0 to ubound(aOnline)
if aOnline(i) <> &quot;&quot; then
sUserName = aOnline(i)
sUserName = right(sUserName, len(sUserName) - instr(sUserName, &quot;=&quot)
response.write &quot; &quot; & sUserName & &quot;<br>&quot;
end if
next

Im not sure i understand what you are after...

If you want to get rid of a space on either side of the string you can use &quot;Trim&quot;

NewString = Trim(OldString) '# trims both sides of spaces
NewString = LTrim(OldString) '# trims left side of spaces
NewString = RTrim(OldString) '# trims right side of spaces www.vzio.com

This piece of code grabs a username form a cookie and displays it but if the username has a space in it

It Display Nick+Daines instead of Nick Daines

or lets say user has -Nick-. it displays something like %20d6Nick%208 When I just want it to display -Nick-.


Thanks

Ah...

use Replace...

MyString = Replace(MyOldString, &quot;+&quot;, &quot; &quot
MyOldString= Replace(MyString, &quot;%20&quot;, &quot; &quot
MyString = Replace(MyOldString, &quot;d6&quot;, &quot;-&quot

So where would I put this on the page?

Nick
MyString = Replace(MyOldString, &quot;+&quot;, &quot; &quot
MyOldString= Replace(MyString, &quot;%20&quot;, &quot; &quot
MyString = Replace(MyOldString, &quot;d6&quot;, &quot;-&quot


for i = 0 to ubound(aOnline)
if aOnline(i) <> &quot;&quot; then
sUserName = aOnline(i)
sUserName = right(sUserName, len(sUserName) - instr(sUserName, &quot;=&quot)
response.write &quot; &quot; & sUserName & &quot;<br>&quot;
end if
next

Put the username in a string, then do the replace function on the username before you print it out, then it will put the characters back to normal. www.vzio.com

OK so if I want to ad more replaces
do I just keep repleteing it

MyString = Replace(MyOldString, &quot;+&quot;, &quot; &quot
MyOldString= Replace(MyString, &quot;%20&quot;, &quot; &quot
MyString = Replace(MyOldString, &quot;d6&quot;, &quot;-&quot
MyString = Replace(MyOldString, &quot;-&quot;, &quot;a&quot
MyOldString= Replace(MyString, &quot;%22&quot;, &quot;B&quot
