Viewing a List Box's Data
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
If you have a SELECT list on your ASP page that allows multiple selections (using the MULTIPLE keyword in the SELECT tag), those selections will come into the ASP code as a comma separated list of values. An easy way to break them up into an array is with the Split function. The Split function will break a line of text into an array of elements based on a delimiter character that you specify. Here's an example:
Dim a_strStrings ' As Array of Strings
a_strStrings = Split(Request("ListBoxData"), ",")
This will break the contents of the ListBoxData field in the Request collection into an array. You can use the Lbound and UBound functions to determine the lower and upper limits of the array that is created. Looping through those items will let you process each of those items. If you need to put them in a database, you can create a SQL statement for each item in turn.
