Strip Characters from Variable

This cant be difficult - But wait yes it can :-)

[ukgimp]

I have tried in vane to remove certain characters from a string or varaible but with no real luck. Here is what I have been doing to date:

category = "" & dbRs2("Category") & ""
category = Replace(category,"&","")

I have also tried this as a variable:

category = dbRs2("Category")
category = Replace(category,"&","")

No joy either way.

Any pointers.

Cheers

Try

category = Replace(category,Chr(38),"")

Thanks Ian

Dont know why that was not working. But your Chr(38) work. Is there a list of such characters?

do a search for "ascii codes" and you'll find lots

cool thanks

what you doing over here tx' ASP is not usually your bag :)

Actually ASP is my bag. That's how I write all my sites - database driven, web applications. Even the simple sites these days I use ASP.

Now I'm learning the .NET thing.

:) Well you not half bad at php which is where I thought your interests lay.

I like php too, clean language. But I have a windows server, so ASP runs natively, without another layer.
