Question

I have been making some progress on this but still have some issues to resolve.

Hopefully, this one won’t be that hard.

I have this:

For Each item In Request.QueryString("doc").Split(","c)
    sb.Append("http://default.html?k=")
    sb.Append(item)
    sb.Append("&p=2&o=m</p>")
Next

When I test this code:

Response.Write(sb.ToString())

I get:

http://default.html?k=122&p=2&o=m

http://default.html?k=123&p=2&o=m

That’s exactly what we are looking for

When we assign it to a variable like:

Dim linkList As String = sb.ToString()

However, when I loop through linkList
and write it to the screen, it is spitting out only the letter h.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong and how to fix it if possible?

Dim link As String

For Each link I linkList

    'let me know if I am still getting the links
    response.write link

    'we will save all the links later
Next

As always, thanks a lot for your help

Answer 1

You can not loop through a string and get another string (note: linkList is a String – Dim linkList As String = sb.ToString()). That’s why you get the h it’s trying to pick the Chars in the string. Place the strings in an array then loop through the array. Try this:

Dim linkArray() As String

For Each item In Request.QueryString("doc").Split(","c)
    Dim stb As New StringBuilder
    stb.Append("http://default.html?k=")
    stb.Append(item)
    stb.Append("&p=2&o=m</p>")
    linkArray.add(stb.toString())
Next

For Each link As String In linkArray
    response.write link
Next
