Hello, I would like to flood some content created using RTE Editor to other sections of my site. For example - showing the first two lines of text from a blog or articles entry on the site's main page (with or without all the graphical features)... How can this be accomplished? clearly this is not possible using regular string manipulation (or is it?) Thanks in advance. |

Borg, Please help...
I know how to manipulate strings, but all the additional HTML tags on the way are making me sweat

Sorry I'm not even sure what you are trying to do, but it looks like you are requiring quite a substantial bit of customised programming. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hello again,
Lets say I've read from the user an article with 20 lines and stored it to my DB.
All I want is to extract the first few (2-3) lined from that article, remove all the design features (bold, font size ect.) and write those few lines to the screen.
for example:
Article Headline 1
first line... first line... first line... first line...
second line... second line... second line... second line...

Article Headline 2
first line... first line... first line... first line...
second line... second line... second line... second line...

Article Headline 3
first line... first line... first line... first line...
second line... second line... second line... second line...

This is not actually part of the RTE, which is designed to be integrated into a pre-existing web from, not to build an ASP application from. Have a look in the ASP -> Tutorial section of this web site as there are some tutorials on how to write to and display data from a database. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Man, my english sucks.
I'm having a hard time explaining myself.
I know how to extract data from DB.
All I want is to manipulate data generated by the RTE and "crop" the first line or two (and not the whole data)
maby splitting the source string by (chr(10)) and showing only the first line or two form the output array??
But how will I get rid of the text formatting?
Thanks again

You could use the Mid and Trim functions built into ASP to remove unwanted text from an ASP string, but removing the HTML would be much harder, using regular expressions would probably be the simplest way. Have a look of Google for the Regular Expression string for stripping HTML from a string. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
