Hi,

I'm trying to excute a vbscript Replace function to produce a printable version of an ASP page. Here's what I have:

strLine = Replace(strLine, &quot;<%=Application(&quot;&quot;rootsite&quot;&quot;)%>&quot;,&quot;

But this doesn't work and I've narrowed down the problem to trying to convert %> into a string. The code works fine like this:

strLine = Replace(strLine, &quot;<%=Application(&quot;&quot;rootsite&quot;&quot;)&quot;,&quot; -- missing ending %>

But that's not what I want. Basically, how do I get vbscript to see '%>' as a string? [morning]
 
not sure what and why you need to do that but chr() codes will give you the % and >

you know you cannot have asp tags with in asp tags?!? right? _________________________________________________________

Break up the starting tag in your script:
Code:
strLine = Replace(strLine, &quot;<&quot; & &quot;%=Application(&quot;&quot;rootsite&quot;&quot;)&quot;,&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.somesite.org&quot;,1,-1,1)[/URL]
