Hi there

I've got a simple If Then statement and my page is throwing up an error; this is my code:


if isNull strShort or strShort = Empty Then response.Write(No Detail currently)

else
                                 replace(strShort, vbcrlf, "<br>"))

end if

and it's giving me this error:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03f9'

Expected 'Then'

if isNull strShort or strShort = Empty
----------^

I don't know why because I've got Then on the line in question.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Adam

Hi Adam,

Try this...
HTH,

Chris

thanks for your input but it doesn't seem to solve it. The problem is on the line...if IsNull(strShort) or strShort = Empty Then - the error points to this line saying that 'Then' is expected whic dumbfounds me because then is already there

thanks

Adam

It that you want to check if the strShort variable is empty? or compare with another variable called "Empty" that hold some value in it? If you are looking for the first case, use ISEmpty() function or compare it with "".All these should help you on the same cause.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Hi Adam,

This works on my machine:

<%
dim strShort

if ( isNull(strShort) or strShort = Empty ) Then
    response.Write("No Detail currently")

else
    replace strShort, vbcrlf, "<br>"

end if
%>

Happy Thanksgiving,
