Faster string operations in VBScript
Introduction
This article is to provide examples of some routines for speeding
common operations in VBScript. In most cases these routines
do not perform as well as equivalent routines written in straight
VB, mostly because VBScript lacks a Mid statement.
These routines are written solely in VBScript; they do not make
any calls to other components. The techniques outlined here are
not worth using in pure-VB, as there are far better
techniques available to the VB programmer.
This article will also include discussion of some of the issues that
arise in common operations (and example source code showing how
you can carry out these operations relatively quickly).
Concatenation
Case-Insensitive Searches
Common Problems
Writing an HTML table
GetString is ruled out because it does not work, except when your
queries are returning only numbers, and strings that are already HTML encoded.
It just about works for dates.
Writing an HTML select list
Adding glossary mark-up
