I would use a regular _expression_:
<cfif not reFind("^[.]*{10,120}$",form.field)>you messed up</cfif>

Subject: cfqueryparam, cfcatch 'n cftry
Hi guys,
In my cfcatch i've got a bunch of <cfif>'s checking to make sure all parts
of my form were correct.
e.g.:
<cfif form.PropertyDataVillageTown is ""><cfset MessageAlert =
MessageAlert & "<font color='b23f3f'><b>Village/Town</b></font> must have a
value.<br>"><cfset ErrorFound = "yes"></cfif>
<cfif form.PropertyDataCountyState is ""><cfset MessageAlert =
MessageAlert & "<font color='b23f3f'><b>County/State</b></font> must have a
value.<br>"><cfset ErrorFound = "yes"></cfif>
<cfif form.PropertyDataPostcodeZip is ""><cfset MessageAlert =
MessageAlert & "<font color='b23f3f'><b>Postcode/Zip</b></font> must have a
value.<br>"><cfset ErrorFound = "yes"></cfif>
However, all these actions will only take place if there is an error
triggered.
I have one field which is a description and i'd like to trigger an error
if it is less than 10 characters in length and more than 120. When i am
using cfqueryparam in my SQL i noticed i can have such a line:
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_longvarchar" maxlength="120">
Will this the right thing to trigger an error in case it's more than 120
characters?? How about if i want to trigger the error if it's less than 10
characters too, can that not be done.
BTW: i just chucked in that cf_sql_longvarchar because i didn't know what
to use.
Thanks,
Stu
