hi, NotoriousZach if iam not wrong, you wanted to replace the extra space and enter key char, if so, you can use the replace and instr function to do that. do while(something check or value that be true)do while(something check) pos = instr("space to find") // this will find the first char that is space char (then) call a function to check if following is also space, if so, go on to check the next unlti that is false(not the space char) if("function return value") = "some value" then // you can have the value return as object, so you can check state & position value startpos = startpos + 1 exit do elseif(("function return other value") = "some other value" then replace the found space char("will more than 1") to single space char statrtpos = new pos end ifloop here, you should have a set of variable that hold space char start and end pos. it can then be safe to use replace function to override that with a single space char or other that you easy to maintain hereafter( for building parsing tree ).loop - hope this help - Eric

hi, Raptrex yes, it's possible. you can use vb as tool to develop a RSS feed reader. Beside it, you will also need msxml 3.0 or later(of course msxml 2.0 or later would be ok). but parse a xml file would require a lot of works.please check out this site for RSS 2.0 and other format that like it.P.S. most feeding format should be based on xml.

hi, saga overall I have read whole thread, and have this summary if you wish to 1.) only wanted the no. of records(rows) with a sub-set of all records. you can do this as following, let's say we have a table (table1) with 3 fields: id, role, groups, then: k:\mysql\bin>mysql<enter>mysql> show tables;+--------------------+| Tables_in_test_db2 |+--------------------+| table1 |+--------------------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)mysql> select * from table1;+----+------+--------+| id | role | groups |+----+------+--------+| 1 | 0 | 0 || 2 | 1 | 0 || 3 | 5 | 0 |+----+------+--------+3 rows in set (0.00 sec)mysql> select count(*) from table1 where role=0;+----------+| count(*) |+----------+| 1 |+----------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)mysql> select count(*) from table1 where groups=0;+----------+| count(*) |+----------+| 3 |+----------+1 row in set (0.00 sec) as you can see the result that return a value(1, 3 above) with a field named (count(*)). then, you can use : a.) $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) b.) $numrow = $row[0]; in fact, you can use $row = mysql_fetch_row($result) also, but that required you modify the sql statement, you can have a reference to mysql mannual 2.) as other forum members stated, you use: $roleid = 0; $sql = "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE role=$roleid"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $rownum = mysql_num_rows($result); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result) ==> for get row - hope this help - Eric
