I am writing a program that is using Snitz's CleanCode function in the inc_functions.asp file. Im trying to edit an entry which below is the entry....
<b>this is bold</b>
<i>italic</i>
When the cleancode runs.... I get this error...
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a005e'
Invalid use of Null: 'replace'
/gb/inc_functions.asp line 25
line 25 is just where it is trying to do the replace...
fString = replace(fString, "<b>","[b]", 1, -1, 1)
any ideas what might be causing this?

This is exactly what it thinks fstring is without the quotes....
"This is the test message"

Just for all to know:
On my installation (Win2K, IIS5, SQL Server 2000) I have isolated this problem to be related to database fields of type Text and nText. A workaround is to place the value of the field in a variable before passing it to CleanCode, ie.:
strMessage = Trim(CleanCode(rs("MyTextField")))
would then be
strMessage = rs("MyTextField")
strMessage = Trim(CleanCode(strMessage))
This seems to solve the problem.
Hope this helps someone

if i do it this way, nothing get's replaced:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="data/inc_functions.asp" -->
...
strMessage = rs("cnt_data")
strMessage = Trim(CleanCode(strMessage))
...
<%=strMessage%>
this replaces all but the [url=] tags:
<%=formatStr(chkString(rs("cnt_data"), ""))%>
.. anyone got an idea?

Hi all
Just a tip when dealing with null values from databases, I've always found it's preferable to add a blank string to the field before trimming it..
strMessage = Trim(rs("Message") & "")
That way, at least you're trimming "", even if you get a null value in rs("Message")
Cheers,
Marcus

plz help :/
everything in the inc_function.asp works except this:
it replace [url=http://bla.com]bla[/url] to :
[url=<a href="http://bla.com">http://bla.com</a>]bla[/url]
instead of <a href="http://bla.com">bla</a>
what can be the reason of this, i recon the sequence is different, but even if i do ReplaceUrls(rs("message") i get this..
[edit]
lol! i see the [url= function doesnt work here either :D
[/edit]

You need to put quotes around the url. If you looked at the FAQ.asp page that came with your forum (the link is at the top right hand corner) it would show you how to use the [ url ] command. It should be like this:
[ url="http://blah.com" ]blah.com[ /url ]
without the spaces of course, and you would get this:
blah.com
