how can i detect multiplt VBNewLine's in a rowif i have a text area on a page that i want to validate, and i dont want
there to ever be 2 "enter"s in a row, how can i check for this? ive been playing with something like: If InStr(string, "vbnewline&vbnewline") <> 0 but i cant get that to work no matter what i do with the quotes etc. but thats the general idea of what i want to do. any ideas? SLH wrote:

You will get a quicker response by posting to the newsgroup. thank you ill try that now. question, what is the actual difference between
vbNewLine and vbCrLf? i ask because i do some other things on various pages using vbNewLine and im wondering if there is good reason to change it to vbCrLf thanks Show quoteHide quote "Bob Barrows [MVP]" <reb01501@NOyahoo.SPAMcom> wrote in message news:OpvDwsH6GHA.4644@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > SLH wrote: >> if i have a text area on a page that i want to validate, and i dont >> want there to ever be 2 "enter"s in a row, how can i check for this? >> ive been playing with something like: >> >> If InStr(string, "vbnewline&vbnewline") <> 0 >> >> but i cant get that to work no matter what i do with the quotes etc. >> but thats the general idea of what i want to do. >> any ideas? > > vbCrLf & vbCrLf > -- > Microsoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET > Please reply to the newsgroup.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnanchor/html/scriptinga.asp I posted that suggestion without testing, assuming it would be the answer. It turns out I was wrong. According to this test: <% dim s, i, ar ar=array(vbNewLine, vbCrLf) for each s in ar Response.Write "Next constant:<BR>" for i = 1 to len(s) Response.Write Asc(mid(s,i,1)) & "<BR>" next next %> The two constants would seem to be equivalent in this situation. So, I would suggest looping through your string (similar to the above) and discover what actually is being passed in the form submission for line break characters. In fact, based on this test: <% if Request.Form.Count>0 then dim s, i s=Request.Form("txt") for i = 1 to len(s) Response.Write Asc(mid(s,i,1)) & "<BR>" next Response.Write "Instr(s,vbCrLf & vbCrLf): " & Instr(s,vbCrLf & vbCrLf) & "<BR>" Response.Write "Instr(s,vbNewLine & vbNewLine): " & Instr(s,vbNewLine & vbNewLine) & "<BR>" end if %> <HTML> <BODY> <FORM action="" method=POST id=form1 name=form1> <textarea name=txt></textarea> <INPUT type="submit" value="Submit" id=submit1 name=submit1> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> Both constants seem to work when I enter a<enter><enter>a in the text area and submit it.

Do Until Instr(string, vbCrLf & vbCrLf)=0 string = Replace(string,vbCrLf & vbCrLf,vbCrLf) Loop (yeah, I know there's a great regex solution for this, but I'm leaving that as an exercise ... ) -- Microsoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup.
