Do a ListLen(str, "$") to see if the second element is present first.
Adrian http://www.adrianlynch.co.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: Che Vilnonis Sent: 05 February 2008 20:59 To: CF-Talk Subject: String Manipulation Fun Take the following xml string value: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro - Windsor, ON N8W 5J1 - $44900 I use the following code to extract and set the price: <cfif findNoCase("$", theArray[i].description.xmlText)> <cfset price = listlast(theArray[i].description.xmlText, "$")> </cfif> Sometimes though, the xml data is incomplete and looks like this: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro - Windsor, ON N8W 5J1 - $ My current logic bombs on the listlast statement. Any ideas how to fail gracefully and set the price to zero when this happens?
