Subscript out of range

[lebronletchev]

Hi,

I have a database with a memofield from which I get the entire string after searching the whole text using a keyword (single or complex), but I have a problem, depending on the character in the string, the asp script shows an error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0009' Subscript out of range: '[number: 2]'

Examples:

by eighteen fifteen, five thousand chronometers were in use on ships sailing the world's oceans.
the twenty-six year old singer says her music attempts to reach out for an understanding of othe people's experiences

The output string stop here with the above error message.



MY CODE:

<%For n = 0 to 3%>
<% mystring = rs1("texts") %>
<% myword = strkeyword %>
<% myarray = Split(mystring, myword, 3, 1) %>
<%next%>
<TABLE border=0>
<TR>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD width=49% align=right><%Response.Write "<font size=1 face=verdana ><b>" & MyArray(0) & "</b></font>" %> </TD>
<TD width=1% bgcolor=yellow><%response.write "<font size=1 face=verdana ><b>" & MyWord & "</b></font>" %></TD>
<TD width=49%><%response.write "<font size=1 face=verdana ><b>" & Myarray(2) & "</b></font>" %> </TD>
<TD width=1%><%'response.write "<font size=1 face=verdana ><b>" & rs1("fileid") & "</b></font>" %> </TD>

</TR>
</TABLE>

How I fix the error or hidden the error message?


Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

The error means that there is *NO* element 2 in the array.

That is, your SPLIT did *NOT* create at least 3 parts.

But your code makes NO SENSE anyway:

<%
For n = 0 to 3
    mystring = rs1("texts") 
    myword = strkeyword 
    myarray = Split(mystring, myword, 3, 1) 
Next
%>

The code does the SAME THING THREE TIMES!

WHY? NOTHING changes in the 3 iterations.

Maybe you should DEBUG???

<%
mystring = rs1("texts") 
Response.Write "DEBUG: mystring is ::" & mystring & "::<hr/>"
myword = strkeyword 
Response.Write "DEBUG: myword is ::" & myword & "::<hr/>"
myarray = Split(mystring, myword, 3, 1) 
Response.Write "DEBUG: UBound(myarray) is " & UBound(myarray) & "<hr/>"
%>
