hi sorry for the basic question but i haven't been able to find my answer anywhere else
i am using regular expressions and searching a string with negative lookahead and it if it doesn't find any occurrence in the regular expression then it is returning the length of the string +1 instead of the usual 0, is it meant to do this or do i have a problem somewhere: <cfset currentString = "Apple"> <cfset currentSet = "(?=[\^;'/\\&><""\r\s-])"> <cfreturn refindnocase(currentSet,currentString)> returning 6 instead of 0 thanks richard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313449 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
