String is not null, empty, or empty string

Question

What is the quickest and easiest way (in Classic ASP) to check if a string has some string (that has a length greater than 0) i.e. NOT \"Null\", \"Nothing\", \"Empty\", or \

Answer 1

You can use the VarType() function to check if it is a string, then you can check if the string is not empty. This statement will only pass through a string that isn't empty.

If VarType(MyString) = 8 Then
  If MyString <> "" Then 
    'String is Not Null And Not Empty, code goes here

  End If
End If
