[thelist] Charsets, finding them in a string...

[Taz]

The closest thing I could find for you was a component that does this,
it's methods and properties are very extensive and probably vastly
supercede what your looking for, however this looks suitable.

GetHtmlCharset( htmlData As Variant ) As String 
Parses HTML text and returns the charset, such as "iso-8859-1" found in
the META-tag that specifies the document's charset. The string "unknown"
is returned if the charset was not specified. This method does not try
to detect the charset based by examining the character data (like
DetectCharset) but simply looks for the META tag containing the charset
information.[top]

Ok, this one is hurting my head...

I am writing something here in ASP (with an access database) that
accepts input through a form or email from users, and I only want it to
work in English and Japanese character sets.

I know that people are bound to put in characters and stuff that are
outside of the English (roman?) and Japanese charset, so I need to find
a way to examine the string to see if there is anything OTHER than
English or Japanese in there, and if so, delete it from the string.

Any way to do this?

Thanks,

Chris
