functions available in ASP

[dmartin17]

I am trying to use the instr function in ASP but i dont think it is working. How different are the functions avaible in ASP versus VB? IS there someplace i can look for this?

The InStr function is available in VBScript which can be used in ASP as follows:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Dim SearchString, SearchChar, MyPos
SearchString ="XXpXXpXXPXXP" ' String to search in.
SearchChar = "P" ' Search for "P".
MyPos = Instr(4, SearchString, SearchChar, 1) ' A textual comparison starting at position 4. Returns 6.
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, SearchChar, 0) ' A binary comparison starting at position 1. Returns 9.
MyPos = Instr(SearchString, SearchChar) ' Comparison is binary by default (last argument is omitted). Returns 9.
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, "W") ' A binary comparison starting at position 1. Returns 0 ("W" is not found).
%>

If you want to know the differences, look up the function required in MSDM for both VB & VBScript :cool:
