There's a simpler option. Create an asp function that does the cleanup. Place the function outside of the looping and call that rather than embedding the asp code for each loop.
Your current code will break because you seem to be repeatedly recreating the same variables; which is a failure point. Using the function call instead not only reduces your end code, but makes tweaking it much easier On 15 Apr 2009, at 16:27, Stefan Buchali <[email protected]> wrote: > > if you use a construction like this: > > summary = "<%txt_summary%>" > > your asp code will break as soon as the text element contains more > than one line, which is the case if you use formatted text. > > > You could create a second project variant for the RSS feed and tell > this variant to convert all text elements using a certain > ConvertTable.txt.
