Easy ASP ignore words question

[techskool]

This is gonna seem really daft, im not quite with it today

Say i was asking ASP to ignore a word when it was performing an action:

----
varIgnore = "materials.asp"
If objFileItem.Name <> varIgnore Then
....
----

How would i make it ignore

1)more files than just the one ive specified
2)files that end with an extension, which i dont know the name of

Thanks guys

put the list of things you want to ignore in an array, then loop through the array on the text you want to check for ignores, and replace each occurence of the array element with a null string.

That's just shooting from the hip here. Good luck!

Take Care,

or set a pattern containing the words and hit it with a regular expression match test.

Here's the array method (I'd have to look into the regex method):

Dim arrData
Dim strText
Dim inCount

strText = "bla blabla bla word1 lkasdj fklj word2 askdjfl jasdfjk lkkljas df word3 asdklfj lasdf  skdjkks word4"
arrData = Array("word1", "word2", "word3", "word4")
For intCount = 0 To UBound(arrData)
    strText = Replace(strText, arrData(intCount) ,"")
Next
Response.Write(&quot;This is the replaced text:<br>&quot; & strText)

Good Luck!

Take Care,
Mike
