I'm working on this myself, but wanted to throw it to the list in case someone knew it right off. I have a string: <option>select a make</option><option value="Honda" selected>Honda</option> The length of this string might vary, but I need to get the string inside the FIRST value="get this string". I know the starting char by doing this: str.indexOf('"'); which returns 44, so I know to start counting at 45, but how do I know to stop counting at char 50 (in this case)? So basically I need to get the FIRST occurrence of value="" and get what's between the quotes. ____________________________________ Andy Matthews Senior Coldfusion Developer
