Hello,

I am posting string data from C++ application, which uses activex webbrowser control, to ASP. The only way i can post this string in binary using safearray.
Anyhow, I am able to successfully read this string in ASP server and assign it to client script varible using following statement.

inputstr = "<%Response.BinaryWrite(Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes))%>"

The problem is when i have some special characters like ",\r,\n... in my string.

Is there a way to get this string to client sdie, so that i parse it and populate fields.

Thanks

What happens when there are special characters ? does it error out ?

Yes, it gives error. Error like "Unexpected end of statement" or "Expecting ;" something like that depends upon special char.

So, let me get this right...

You are sending some C-string-stream to .NET to be displayed on the web?

Wouldn't RSS, SQL, or similar make more sense?

I kind of new to ASP. So please pardon me since i didn't get your statement clearly.
I am posting string,which is formatted using XML notation, using safearray of type VT_UI1. This is the only way I can POST data to ASP from my ActiveX control. Other side I was trying to use BinaryRead and BinaryWrite to extract this POST string and assign it to client side variable, where the error is occuring.

Okay, missing the XML part, I would think that binarywrite would be too complicated to sort out without the standard character set.

Perhaps, .NET, being such a coin phrase, would not be a best bet in your application. My philosophy is simple: as long as you know what to expect, it isn't a problem. The project that you propose, I ponder almost daily. given all the constents involved, this is literaly simple and conceptually difficult. Good Luck

Can you show some code around the line in which the error is occuring ?

Our customers design their own ASP forms. I just needed to give them how to retrieve input POSTed string from our application and then parse it. So customers can write their forms in either javascript or vbscript. I need to give examples in both.
Below code is for assigning string to javascript.

<% Dim Binary11
     Binary11 = Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes)
     Dim I, S
     For I = 1 To LenB(Binary11)
     S = S & Chr(AscB(MidB(Binary11, I, 1)))
     Next
     %>
  var text = "<%= S %>"       
  alert(text);

This is a test page i made, but can't generate any errors to test.Can you play with this :

<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="h1" value="<%Response.BinaryWrite StringToMultiByte("My first <br>binary string.\n")%>">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<%
Function StringToMultiByte(S)
  Dim i, MultiByte
  For i=1 To Len(S)
    MultiByte = MultiByte & ChrB(Asc(Mid(S,i,1)))
  Next
  StringToMultiByte = MultiByte
End Function

Dim Binary11
     Binary11 = Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes)
     Dim I, S
     For I = 1 To LenB(Binary11)
    	 S = S & Chr(AscB(MidB(Binary11, I, 1)))
     Next
	 
	 


%>
<script langauge="javascript">
var s1="<%=S%>";
var s2="<%=Unescape(S)%>";
alert(s1);
alert(s2);
</script>
