Actually, I just looked it up: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/CFML_Reference/functions-pt121.htm
According to this page, starting in MX 6, asc() supports values up to 65536, so it should work for you. Output your character value to the screen with asc(sFunkyCharacter) and you'll find out the value of it. Another thing you could do, if you really wanted to, was check all asc() values if each character in your string and if they exceed 255, then leave them out. That will ensure it works properly on Windows File System (which I'm assuming is the issue you are having).

Is there a CF function (or even a way in Java) to take a character and return the ASCII code for it? (Or whatever is appropriate, I don't know if ASCII is really the right term) ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: morgan l [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 3:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Mystery Character Try here: http://www.miniguidez.com/macosx/keystrokesguide/specialcharacters/speci alcharacters.html It lists decimal and hex values for corresponding mac keystrokes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:309404 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
