Taking out " " (Spaces) with ASP 1

[brentnewbury]

Hi everyone,

I was testing my new user authorisation and details script and found a small but fatal bug. I could just input a space as my username and password. So I found a little function to do the job, but it didn't. The script was:

Replace(Request.Form("username&quot, " ", "&quot

and it came up with this error:

Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0414)
Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub
/login/signup.asp, line 2, column 43
Replace(Request.Form("UserEmail&quot, " ", "&quot
-------------------------------------------------^

I don't have a clue what this means and all, but if someone could tell me where I'm going wrong, or suggest a new script. All I want to do is takeout or notify the user of invalid chars like scace and the '.

Thank you for your time,

Brent Newbury

try this:

dim username

username = Replace(Request.Form("username&quot," ", "&quot

Hope this helps

Hi giahan,

Thankyou very much for your reply, it did work, and I am very disapointed in myself for not thinking of this simple yet effective method.

Thnx again,
