Search and change character

[deddleston]

I have a page, and it works fine, except when the % character is used.

I need to search for the % from within <% query %> anc change it in somthing that i can use. Then i need to change the charcter back into % so it will work in SQL.

Any help appreciated M$ arn't the only option!

How about using .indexOf method for the String object?

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/

go to string object and you will get the complete listing of methods, including .indexOf

Although now that I think about it, I can't see why this would cause your program to mess up unless you had the &gt; after it. One method to fix script escapes (if this is what is happening) is to break up the two characters liek this:

myString = "blah blah %" + ">"

or you can use escape characters to make the system ignore certain characters and treat them like normal characters rather than special characters.
