Hello, I have already tried again and it's work=)

Thanks

:)

Hello,
I have a problem if I want to search "Regulation" in category "Memorandum" and in year "1984". I have 1 textfield and 2 dropdown menus. I confuse.
I tried this code but did not show the result.

<%
x = request.Form("search_category")
y = request.Form("search_year")
 C_prefix = "contains("& x & ",'"
 C_midfix = "') or contains("& x & ",'"
 C_suffix = "')"
C_prefixs = "or contains("& y & ",'"
 C_midfixs = "') or contains("& y & ",'"
 C_suffixs = "')"
Function CreateContainsList( fromStr )
    Dim temp, re
    ' the regexp ensures that multiple spaces become single spaces
    Set re = New RegExp
    re.Pattern = "\s+"
    re.Global = True
    ' so get an array of words via split...
    temp = Split( re.Replace( Trim(fromStr), " " ), " " )
    ' and make it into the contains list via join and helpers
    CreateContainsList = C_prefix & Join( temp, C_midfix ) & C_suffix & C_prefixs & Join( temp, C_midfixs ) & C_suffixs

End Function

demo = request.Form("txtSearch")

'path = "form/document[" & CreateContainsList(demo) & " ]//*"

'Response.Write "<pre>" & demo & "" & path & "</pre>"
%>

So show the XPath that you think you should be using.

*NOT* the ASP code.

ONLY the XPath.

And WHY WHY WHY would you revert back to using a function that takes only one argument???? Seems to me you now need a function that takes *THREE* arguments.

Here is the XPath:

path="form/document[<%= CreateContainsList(request.Form("txtSearch"))%>]//*";

No, we already know that code is wrong.

I need to see the XPATH that you *HAND CODE* that *DOES* work.

No ASP code in it at all. Just strings. Pure JS code.

Hello, I have another problem. My thesis advisor ask me to make like this:

In my previous program, I make 1 drop down menu which consist of author, dates, category,etc.

If it looks like that, I just need 1 variable which is name of drop down menu.

Now, I was asked to make like this:
I have some check box which are: check box for author, check box for dates, check box for category, etc.
If I tick author, and type keyword "xyz" then the program only search for keyword "xyz" in scope author. The same condition if I want to tick author, category and title with keyword "xyz". Then, the program only search for keyword "xyz" in scope author, category and title.


Do you have any idea?

I tried like this:
<%
a = Request.Form("desc_id")
b = Request.Form("title")
c = Request.Form("dates")
d = Request.Form("author")
e = Request.Form("file_name")
f = request.Form("type")
g = Request.Form("category")
h = Request.Form("status")
i = Request.Form("year")


 C_prefix = "contains("& a & ",'"
 C_midfix = "') or contains("& a &",'"
 C_suffix = "')"
Function CreateContainsList( fromStr )
    Dim temp, re

    ' the regexp ensures that multiple spaces become single spaces
    Set re = New RegExp
    re.Pattern = "\s+"
    re.Global = True
    ' so get an array of words via split...
    temp = Split( re.Replace( Trim(fromStr), " " ), " " )
    ' and make it into the contains list via join and helpers
    CreateContainsList = C_prefix & Join( temp, C_midfix ) & C_suffix

End Function

demo = request.Form("txtSearch")

path = "form/document[" & CreateContainsList(demo) & " ]//*"

Response.Write "<pre>" & demo & "" & path & "</pre>"
%>

Now I don't want to use only variable "a" but also other variable inside C_prefix, midfix and suffix, depends on which option that user chose. And not only 1 option. User also can search the keyword with more than 1 option.

 C_prefix = "contains("& a & ",'"
 C_midfix = "') or contains("& a &",'"
 C_suffix = "')"
