Here's a quickie I wrote to allow for a formatted string fuction while editing VB code on a Windows operating system. Call it from server side VB as:
Dim Foo Foo = format_string( "<ol><li>%s</li><li>%s</li></ol>", "foo", "bar" )

<script language="perlscript" runat="server"> # ' Format a string like perl's sprintf function # ' # ' # ' Input: A format string followed by a list of values # ' to insert into the string. # ' # ' Output A formatted string. # ' # ' example: format_string( "<p>%s</p>", "Now is the time of +our ..." ) # ' # ' prints: <p>Now is the time of our ...</p> # ' # ' see http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/func/sprintf.html # ' for complete details and other formatting. sub format_string { my $format = shift; return sprintf $format, @_; } </script>

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
