Hi all,
I'm struggling with a really fundamental problem and wondering if
anyone has any bright ideas...
I need to put the contents of a standard text placeholder into an ASP
variable so that I can use ASP to manipulate the text. Here's the
only way I know how:
<%
my_asp_variable = "<%std_reddot_text_placeholder%>"
%>
That's perfect until someone puts a value in the placeholder that
contains a quote character, because when ASP reaches the quote
character, it thinks the string assignation has ended, and throws an
error on the remaining contents of the placeholder.
I thought of using the Replace function in various ways...
<%
my_asp_variable = Replace("<%std_reddot_text_placeholder%>", """",
Chr(34))
%>
<%
my_asp_variable = escape("<%std_reddot_text_placeholder%>")
%>
...but the simple truth is that the problem lies in the fact that
this:
"<%std_reddot_text_placeholder%>"
...is effectively turned into this:
"here is the text in my placeholder which contains "quoted" text"
I'm sure loads of other people have met this problem... any ideas on
how to get round it?
