Hisham,

Sorry I left one TINY piece out. It IS included in this post:

<%
Dim Keyw
Dim SubC
Dim myquery
Dim myQuerystring
SubC = Request.form(" SubCategory" )
Keyw = Request.Form(" Keyword" )
if (Keyw = " " Or Keyw = " " ) Then
if (SubC = " " Or SubC = " " ) Then
Keyw = " SELECT * FROM SpecialsDatabase WHERE (ProductType= ' ::ProductType::' ) ORDER BY EQPSpecialPrice ASC"
else
Keyw = " SELECT * FROM SpecialsDatabase WHERE (ProductType= ' ::ProductType::' AND SubCategory= ' ::SubCategory::' ) ORDER BY EQPSpecialPrice ASC"
end if
else
Keyw = split(Request.Form(" Keyword" )," " )
myQuerystring = " (ItemName Like ' %" & trim(Keyw(0)) & " %' "
myQuerystring = myQuerystring & " Or Description Like ' %" & trim(Keyw(0)) & " %' )"
if uBound(Keyw) > 0 Then
for i = 1 to uBound(Keyw)
myQuerystring = myQuerystring & " OR (ItemName Like ' %" & trim(Keyw(i)) & " %' )"
myQuerystring = myQuerystring & " OR (Description Like ' %" & trim(Keyw(i)) & " %' )"
next
end if
if (SubC = " " OR SubC = " " ) Then
Keyw = " SELECT * FROM SpecialsDatabase WHERE (ProductType= ' ::ProductType::' And ("
else
Keyw = " SELECT * FROM SpecialsDatabase WHERE (ProductType= ' ::ProductType::' And SubCategory= ' ::SubCategory::' AND ("
end if
Keyw = Keyw + myQuerystring
Keyw = Keyw + " )) ORDER BY EQPSpecialPrice ASC"
end if
myquery = Keyw
response.write (myquery & " <BR>" )
%>

So that is it. The routine with everything included.
LLLuneeeeeeee :)

Hi LLL,

Thanks a lot.

I tried the code, it is working fine. Also try the WHERE IN, it is different.

Hisham,

Which code did you try, the one you were working on with " WHERE IN" or the " LIKE" code???

Thanks,
LLLuneeeee :)

Hi Mark,

It is the IN code, the second one.

Hi Mark,

This is the code.

quote:

<%DIM myArray, myQuerystring

myArray = split(Request.Form(" keywords" )," " ) ' splitting on spaces
myQuerystring = " "

FOR i = 0 to (uBound(myArray)-1)
myQuerystring = myQuerystring & " ' " & myArray(i) & " ' ,"
NEXT

' don' t want a comma trailing the last one
myQuerystring = myQuerystring & " ' " & myArray(ubound(myArray)) & " ' " %>

Hi again,

The SQL statement would be:

quote:

Then for your dieted DRW query, maybe something like:

fp_sQry=" SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE keyword IN (" & myQuerystring & " )"

Hi Mark,

Remember, it worked for me when I created two separate pages not the same one.

Page 1: Will have the search form and post it to the DRW page
Page 2: Will have the DRW with the code above

Put the DRW on diet then change the sql statement.

Regards
Hisham

Hisham,

Yes, mine was a two page function too. I couldn' t do it in one. I' m going to play/test your routine and see how it works.

Thanks,
LLLuneeeee :)

Hi again,

Can you investigate why it is not working in one page? it is strange.

I know when you dig for something you will find, no matter how deep it is.

Thanks
Hisham

Hisham,

This could be a deep one, I' m looking into it. I know the answer but I have to try to figure out HOW it post it without if taking up 1000 lines!!!

Stay tuned...

LLLuneeeee :)

Hi Mark,

I got this from the new member Tarwn, he is in another forum too. He explained why it did not work on one page and gave the solution. Please read it and let me know what you think:

quote:


Tarwn
Ok, in this instance you would have to skip the code the first time the page loaded, then set the form to submit back to this same page. On the second pass you could then use the code.
The reason behind this is because the ASP is going to execute before the page is ever sent to the user, so by the time the user actually has the form in fron of them and is starting to fill it out, the ASP script is already exiting and gone. This is why you wre egtting an array index out of bounds, because the ASP code was attempting to run before the user even had a chance to fill out the form. Since there was nothing in the form collection yet you were dealing with an empty array.

You would probably be better of doing this in seperate pages, or if you want it in one page then do something like this:
If Request.Form(" Country" ) <> " " Then
' do your submission code here
Else
' display your html form and usch here
End If

This way if there is nothing in the form collection it displays the form, then set the action of the form to this address. If there is something in the form collection it means the page already loaded once and the user has fillerd out the information, so go to thwe submission code and submit it to the db.

Hope this helps,
-Tarwn


Thanks
Hisham

Hisham,

This problem reminds me of the old DOS to Windows software changeover of 1985. Programmers then were use to controling software and interaction the DOS way. You could stop software processing and have the program wait until a user interacted with the program in some way. Windows 3.0 of 1985 changed all that. Now halting program execution was not possible the old traditional way due to real-time messaging between objects and windows.

When it comes to doing everything on one-page in Internet devleopment, you need to be able to execute portions of code and have other portions of code stay in a suspened state until the user has interacted with the page in some way.

Tarwn' email offered one way of doing this. It makes sense. He saved me writing a long story and condensed it good. I was thinking along this line myself but wanted to play with it first. I would try it.

Hi Mark,

quote:

If Request.Form(" Country" ) <> " " Then
' do your submission code here
Else
' display your html form and usch here
End If


In our case we don' t need submission code, I think we have to replace the ' do your submission code here wit the SQL statement.

Try it when you have time, I will to then we can share the results.

Thanks Mark
Hisham

Hisham,

Exactly... The SQL assembler should go there.

Hi, guys -

Could you try to be a bit more succinct in your postings? We encourage posting answers in threads rather than private emails so that others can learn also, but a few emails in between in trying to solve something then posting the answer on the thread can be a good thing! :)

Rambling threads just tend to take up server space.... (well... besides boosting one' s Posts [:j])

Sincerely,

Linda

Hisham,

I played with the IN code a little. I don' t think it works as good as LIKE does. The results returned were a little different. In the example I tested, LIKE returned 15 files, the same test returned 13 with IN. It confused me. Each method offers itsr own reward I guess. :)

Thanks
LLLuneeeee :)

LIKE is a search that uses wildcards (%) - it will locate part of a field.
IN searches for the exact term

Hisham,

I spent some time playing with code from the site address you gave me a long time ago.

http://www.fmhs.uaeu.ac.ae/immconf/country2.asp

I think spooky hit the nail on the head with wildcards. Nice piece of code though. Great if you know exact matches are what you need.
