Something like: (untested) Replace(ListFirst(citation, ":"), "keywords", "ALL")
Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Leder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 10:19 AM Subject: Output to a phrase I have a database with a number of citations. Each record contains one citation. The citations can vary in word length from maybe 20 words to well over 100 words. In each citation is a word phrase named "keywords:" (note the colon). The phrase "keywords:" occurs at a different point within each citation (however only occurring once per citation). What I want to do is something similar to the following: <cfoutput>#Left(query.field, 20)# </cfoutput>. However, instead of displaying just the first 20 characters in this example, I want to display all words up to just before the phrase "keywords:" - even though each citation will have a different quantity of words prior to the phrase "keywords:" Is there any way to do this? Thanks in advance for your help. -- Mark Leder, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 2/20/2002 ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
