really its just for readability sake on a printed label.
:) so, basically im working with an old label making program, formatting
some data, sending it to a csv, odbc on the client pc, to the csv file,
and then the label program works from the csv, I need to get this in
this way each time, and still store the Number in my sql database, as a
number, not as a varchar...
make sense?
need quick and dirty way, on the fly, each time, to format those
numbers, or don't do it at all, and tell the higher ups, I cant ;)

To display it, just use mid and call your CFC function that returns the
decrypted CC number.
#mid(objCreditCard.getCcNumberDecrypted(),1,4)#-#mid(objCreditCard.getCc
NumberDecrypted(),5,4)#-#mid(objCreditCard.getCcNumberDecrypted(),9,4)#-
#mid(objCreditCard.getCcNumberDecrypted(),13,4)#
If you want to convert all of them from 1234567891234567 to
1234-5678-9123-4567 I would just:
1. Change the type of your DB field
2. Use a regular _expression_ to add the dashes
3. Run an update on each Credit Card number. Even with 10,000 records,
CF would blaze through the list in a few minutes.
Note: Amex and a few other cards have different lengths, so be careful

I have a number field, 1236547852145632, that I want to display
like:
1236-5478-5214-5632
and don't want to do this...
<cfset myNum = 4103346331>
<cfloop from = 4 to = #len(myNum)# index = i step = 5>
<cfset myNum = insert('-',myNum,i)>
</cfloop>
too many times in a 10000 query recordset :)
if I can pass it off to sql server, GREAT!
thanks.
