Hi all,
I have a strange question which I cannot figure that out myself.
I tried to escape some apostrophe in the name string.
Function PrepCustomerDatatoArray(iTotNumCustomer)
dim CustInfoArr(50, 5)
....
for i=1 to iTotNumCustomer

If InStr(FName, "'") <> 0 Then
CustInfoArr(i-1, 0)=EscStrApostrophe(FName) ' B'etty will become B''etty
Else
CustInfoArr(i-1, 0)=FName
End If
Response.Write CustInfoArr(i-1, 0) & "<br>" ' It displayed B''etty
If MInit<> "" Then
CustInfoArr(i-1, 1)=MInit
End If
If InStr(LName, "'") <> 0 Then
CustInfoArr(i-1, 2)=EscStrApostrophe(LName)
Else
CustInfoArr(i-1, 2)=LName
End If
Response.Write CustInfoArr(i-1, 2) & "<br>" ' It displayed O''neal if
customer enter O'neal as last name
CustInfoArr(i-1, 3)=BDate

Next
'but here it what strange thing happened
'the fname and lname in array with apostrophe will become empty here
'but it display MInit and BirthDate OK
'if fields don't have apostrophe, it will be displayed fine
'what is going on the array is in the scope since mInit and bDate are fine
and if
'no apostrophe, everything is fine?
For i=1 to iTotNumInsured
Response.Write CustInfoArr(i-1, 0) & " " & CustInfoArr(i-1, 1) & " " &
CustInfoArr(i-1, 2) & " " & CustInfoArr(i-1, 3)
Next
End Function

Hi Betty,

Would you please also post the code in EscStrApostrophe() here? This may
help us find the problem. Also, I suggest you may test with this: Replace
following code:

If InStr(FName, "'") <> 0 Then
CustInfoArr(i-1, 0)=EscStrApostrophe(FName) ' B'etty will become B''etty
Else
CustInfoArr(i-1, 0)=FName
End If

With

CustInfoArr(i-1, 0)=FName

This won't call EscStrApostrophe() so we can check if this is the problem.

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang

Hi Luke,
Here is the function:

Function EscStrApostrophe(ByVal Str)
dim NameArr
dim NameStr
NameStr=""
NameArr=Split(Str, "'", -1)
For i=0 to UBound(NameArr)
NameStr=NameStr & NameArr(i) & "''"
Next
EscStrApostrophe=Left(NameStr, Len(NameStr)-2)
End Function

Hi Betty,

Thank you for the code. I tested it and didn't find any issues with it.
Anyway, I suggets you may try following code instead:

CustInfoArr(i-1, 0)=EscStrApostrophe(FName) ' B'etty will become B''etty
Else
CustInfoArr(i-1, 0)=FName
End If

with

CustInfoArr(i-1, 0)=replace(FName,"'","''")

The replace method can help us replace ' with ".

And, I also suggest you may debug in these code in Visua Interdev to see if
the passed parameters are empty, since we get no output, and the code is
correct.

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang
