Hi There,

I'm using Ezaspsite for my homepage. An item on the mainpage is news.
When I put news on it often doesn't display what I want it to.
I found out that the lenght of the news on the mainpage is hardcoded. I put the code below. I already changed the number from 350 to 500.
Can anyone help me to change this code into something that reads the item and displays it until it runs across e.g. [#] or something.

Thanks in advance..

Greetings, Koen

If blnWordCut = True Then
  If len(strNewsItem)>500 then
   strNewsItem = left(strNewsItem,500) & "<br><br><a href=""forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=" & intNewsID & """ class=""text2"" alt="""& strTxtShowMore &""" title="""& strTxtShowMore &""">"& strTxtShowMore &"</a>"
                        strMore = True
  End If
End If

Are you saying you want it to include all text from strNewsItem up to and excluding a delimiter like '#'? If that's what you mean then you can do something like this...

Dim intDelimiterPos

    intDelimiterPos = instr(1, strNewsItem, '#')

    If intDelimiterPos > 0 then
        strNewsItem = mid(strNewsItem, 1, intDelimiterPos - 1)
    End if

@jeffdaro: Thanks for this code... I've tried it, and it works perfect.
The most articles now are showing complete (some mistakes*), and when I put in the # the article is shown up to there.
 
* Mistakes: Some articles containing pictures and links don't fully show. It looks like a limit in characters, but I can't figure out where it is. I will be looking into that.
