Hi All,

I have a querystring that contains the + sign as a separator, I need to read
these values individually in a select statement, for example.

&text=Single+205

where single is the type of room somebody wants and 205 is the user ID in
the Customer table.

Please help.

Regards
Simon

Show quote Hide quote I include the following for academic reasons.

<do not use>
The + will be considered an escape character for space hence the code:-

Dim sText : sText = Request.QueryString("text")

Will put the string "Single 205" in the variable sText.  The split function
can be used to get the separate values:-

Dim asText : asText = Split(sText, " ")

Now asText(0) is "Single" and asText(1) is "205"

</do not use>

However encoding two distinct pieces of data into a single value is not
sensible.  Better would be:-

&type=Single&userid=205

Now the code is:-

Dim sType : sType = Request.QueryString("type")
Dim lUserID : lUserID = CLng(Request.QueryString("userid")

Anthony thanks for that will give it a go.

Regards
Simon
