Hello, I built a small Music Search engin for my website, it reads the name of the songs and the name of the file to  be played from a text file, like suppose

[Quote:Database.txt]
SongName.song21.BandName.Artist
Some Other Song Name.song82.Some other band.artist
[/quote]

now i divide each line into different parts, like suppose line 2, i will divide it in such a way, that everything before the first dot is the name of the song, then is the name of the file, then the band and at last the artist...

First problem is, that if someone enters 'dIL sE rAy' and the actual song name is 'Dil Sae Ray' so it Returns that no song of such name was found.

Either i want to make the HTML field in such a way that no matter what the user enters, it automatically Capitalizes it and then sends the Capitalized text to the ASP file to process it, or, the ASP File may read it in such a way that it may Convert 'sOme sOnG naMe' to 'Some Song Name' and then compare it, is it possible ?!?

Secondly, when i compare, i compare it in such a way, like

if Split(strCurrentTextLine,".")(0) = Request.QueryString("SongToSearch") then 
.... bla bla bla, meanz the sond was found....
else.. 
bla bla bla, meanz the song wasent found

but this only compares if the text enter maches the name 'Exactly' as it appears in the file, is this possible that i compare it like suppose the song name is 'They Dont Really Care About Us' and someone enters 'Care About Us' so it still gives the result ?!? how can i compare that ?!?

I noe its preety long Question, but i'm stuck

Why not use a database or XML file, it will be a lot easier.

Anyway try this

If Split(LCase(strCurrentTextLine), ".")(0) = LCase(Request.QueryString("SongToSearch") Then
...
End If

Yeah! Great, that worked, actually, i some how capitalized it, and the problem regarding Database is that i donot have MS Acces in my computer

any wayz thanxx, i somehow worked it out... :)

it happened once with me that database was read from the local server without installing any Office program. Is this normal?

ie: .mdb access database was working and results came without any problem although no Access is installed.

That is normal, this is because your server probably had MDAC (Mcirosoft Data Access Components) installed. Access is only needed to edit data, create tables etc.

(Actually it is not needed, you could make your own program to replace MS Access)

I am saying, that when i dont have MS Access installed, how will i make that .mdb file to read or write ?!?
