I have an ASP page with a text field that I want to "count" the number of words, give me a total on the page. Then use that total to multiply by a number to get a result that I can post to a databse and the confirmation page.

Here is one set of code that will count the words, but I have info that says I can't use it in an ASP page:
---------------------------
<%
Dim wordCount, arrWords, strOneWord
wordCount = 0
strSentence = Request("AdText")
strSentence = Trim(strSentence)
Do While InStr(1, strSentence, " ")
strSentence = Replace(strSentence, " ", " ")
Loop
arrWords = Split(strSentence, " ", -1, 1)
For Each strOneWord in arrWords
wordCount = wordCount +1
Next
Response.Write(NumberWords)
%>
----------------------------------
Does anyone know of a method in a FrontPage ASP page that I can use formulas and conditions and have the results "write", then post to a database?

Appreciate any feedback.

That code looks familiar

It does work in ASP, it is pure VBScript.

From what I remember we emailed about, you should be able to send the page information to 1) a file that will process your wordcount and prices 2)then send it to the DB 3) return to a confirmation page and display the field results from the DB.

If the user like what he/she sees, they could then do a final submit.

I think you could do most of that using FP and its DRW. You would need something custom on the page that will process the user choices, or have it all customized in the DB.

NOTE: this line--> strSentence = Replace(strSentence, "*", " ") need 2 spaces where I wrote the "*".

Like:

code:

---

strSentence = Replace(strSentence, "  ", " ")

You filled the whole here, and I will be working on it today between calls. Just seems like everytime I get started on it, I get interrupted, too many hats and not enough time in the day.

Thanks again. I'll get back to oyu when I finish this puppy.
