Two functions, one way, Check from the start of the string.
<cfif left(city,3) eq "st "> Or go with a regular expression, which you could either pin to the start of string of look for a space character before the st Jerry >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/18/02 05:22PM >>> I'm stumped... If a city is entered as "St Louis", I want to change it to "Saint Louis". I did <cfif city contains "st "> and did a replacement (note the space after "st". However, if I have a city such as "East Hartford" the "st " is changed to "saint" as well... essentially, I need to know if the "st" (or "st.") is stand alone and not preceded by any other letter. Any ideas?
