in my way of phrasing things, I think the reference is wrong. the value on the left is the string to search, and the value on the right is the substring to search for.

This tag does not seem to work like I would expect. Can anyone shed some light? Very little in the docs about this. I quote the only reference... "CONTAINS determines whether the value on the left is contained in the value on the right. Returns true if it is." <cfif "REWORK" CONTAINS Client.TravType> The above example returns true if client.travtype = "REWORK" but returns false if it = "REWORK LOOP" thank you ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
