Author Formatting output
Tom Petersen

2005-03-30, 8:55 pm

I am using a response.write to test the formatting of the output. I am
supposed to get this:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20051022T090000Z
DTEND:20051022T090000Z
LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Library
UID:20051022T090000ZI-request
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:test
SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:I-request
PRIORITY:3
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

But instead I get this:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20051022T090000Z
DTEND:20051022T090000Z LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Library
UID:20051022T090000ZI-request DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:test
SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:I-request PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

I am sure I am missing something very simple, but I can't figure out what I
am doing wrong. Here is the code:
strvCalendar = "BEGIN:VCALENDAR" & vbCrLf & _
"VERSION:1.0" & vbCrLf & _
"BEGIN:VEVENT" & vbCrLf & _
"DTSTART:" & strStart & vbCrLf & _
"DTEND:" & strStart & vbCrLf & _
"LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:" & strLocation & vbCrLf & _
"UID:" & strStart & strSubject & vbCrLf & _
"DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:" & strDescription & vbCrLf & _
"SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:" & strSubject & vbCrLf & _
"PRIORITY:3" & vbCrLf & _
"END:VEVENT" & vbCrLf & _
"END:VCALENDAR" & vbCrLf

Any ideas?
TIA!!!

If you do a view-source, you'll see the format you're after. Remember
though, HTML doesn't care about line breaks in the source. If you want a
line break to appear in your browser, you have to use the <br> tag or a
block level tag like <div> or <p> or something.

strvCalendar = Replace(strvCalendar ,vbCrLf,"<br>")

VbCrLf isn't recognized in HTML. Use HTML tags, such as <p></p> or
<br> to format HTML code.

Or... Use a <pre></pre> tag to deliver the text as formatted.

Check an HTML group for details if you're unfamiliar with these tags.
