CFQUERY question
I've got a field in a database that is a list of id numbers. When creating a query how do I say pull all records that have an id of "whatever" in that list? I don't want to use CONTAINS since the id could be "1" and any number with "1" in it could return the record like "142,3,8,76". Any thoughts?

Browser Question
I have a very simple application. It takes only 2 templates (not counting my application page). It lets the user query a database of about 9500 records of our company's different office locations and addresses. They can choose a report by stock location, city, state, zip code, region, geo code, or all. The result page obviously gives them the result and also offers them the option to download an excel file of the result. (This is not the same page that I had the excel problem with before and still do). Anyway, everything works wonderfully using IE but if I'm using Netscape (4.76) and select the all option it will go to the result page and freeze Netscape. I have to end the task to get out of it. The frustrating thing is that it works with any other of the options. I don't see how the size of the table could be the problem since the same table is being queried for all the options. Can anyone think of something that might be causing this to happen. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: String Concatenation in CFSCRIPT
If you're concatenating in a loop, you probably want myvariable = myvariable myQuery.Link "?urlvariable=" myQuery.otherquerydata NOT myvariable = myQuery.Link "?urlvariable=" myQuery.otherquerydata That said, string concatenation in loops can be pretty expensive operations: you might want to move the initial formatting into your SQL query as in SELECT link + '?urlvariable=' + otherQueryData AS myvariable just a thought.

Re: W2K vs. NT
Advanced Server is not really necessary, get the Server version. Adv Server provides very nice load balancing and clustering but other than that, the regular server version has everything you need.

Subject: RE: Parsing HTML in ColdFusion
you need a regex that matches everything between and minus the ones you
want to keep like br or b.
how bout:
rereplace(#my_html_file#, '{1}[A-Za-z0-9_/]*{1}', '', 'all')
this should be :
match '' once followed by any alphanumeric char until you hit a '' once
and replace it with ''.
this is an explanation of regex features in javascript as implemented by
netscape (you could parse text given to you in a form through javascript
before cf even sees it):
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/client/jsref/regexp.htm
but you need to get the exact syntax that allaire parses. mike dinowitz did
a great right up on this very subject and i think it is chapter 12 of ben
fortas green book, not to mention his web sites.
if you can try doing this in perl before hand, i am sure it is speedier then

SQL7. SQL7 with 10 cals for $1189 at:
price aside, sql2000 does have these which i find interesting :
- user defined functions
- indexed views
- xml support (includes nifty metadata stuff)
- named log marks (can restore partial db, to a point in time, etc.)
- bigint ("infinite" identity values), table sql variant datatypes
- full text search (many cool new options general improvements!!)
- kerberos security
- text in row (instead of on seperate page)
- 20-40% speed improvement
plus its getting tougher tougher to buy sql server 7 around here...

RE: Parsing HTML in ColdFusion
im jumping into the middle of this conversation, so please forgive if i am
off topic...
seems to me this is exactly what i just somewhat-finished working on last
night, so i will paste the part of the code that you are interested in
this code is being used to pull data from a status page with alot of numbers
and stuff in it
CFSET parsed_input = TRIM(attributes.status_html)
CFSET parsed_input = LCASE(parsed_input)
CFSET parsed_input = REPLACE(parsed_input, "br", " ", "ALL")
CFLOOP CONDITION="#FIND("", parsed_input)# NEQ 0"
CFSET leftBr = FIND("", parsed_input)
CFSET rightBr = FIND("", parsed_input)
CFSET parsed_input = REMOVECHARS(parsed_input, leftBr,
rightBr-leftBr+1)
/CFLOOP
Now, line 3 is there because when I have lines like this:
4BR3050BR
if you just remove the BR they get bunched together:
43050
and i cant tell where the numbers should be seperated, so replacing the BR
with a " " (\s) will do:
4 3050
If you needed to check what was inbetween the tags, you could also include a
check variable useing the MID function, something like MID(parsed_input,
leftBr+1, rightBr) should return what is in the ...
hope this helps, im still working on my parser, but this is being done for a
specific page format vice a general application

Subject: RE: Parsing HTML in ColdFusion
you need a regex that matches everything between and minus the ones you
want to keep like br or b.
how bout:
rereplace(#my_html_file#, '{1}[A-Za-z0-9_/]*{1}', '', 'all')
this should be :
match '' once followed by any alphanumeric char until you hit a '' once
and replace it with ''.
this is an explanation of regex features in javascript as implemented by
netscape (you could parse text given to you in a form through javascript
before cf even sees it):
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/client/jsref/regexp.htm
but you need to get the exact syntax that allaire parses. mike dinowitz did
a great right up on this very subject and i think it is chapter 12 of ben
fortas green book, not to mention his web sites.
if you can try doing this in perl before hand, i am sure it is speedier then
cf in this area.
good luck,

Subject: Parsing HTML in ColdFusion
We need to parse an HTML page, and remove all HTML tags. Could someone
please explain how to do this in ColdFusion? There is a component in ASP
that allows this sort of thing, but we prefer to do it ColdFusion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Caulfield, Michael" wrote: If you're concatenating in a loop, you probably want myvariable = myvariable myQuery.Link "?urlvariable=" myQuery.otherquerydata NOT myvariable = myQuery.Link "?urlvariable=" myQuery.otherquerydata Actually, the first one was correct. I was creating an array of structures. So the 'myvariable' got put into a structure, and then the structure into the array. (and then it starts again). That said, string concatenation in loops can be pretty expensive operations: you might want to move the initial formatting into your SQL query as in SELECT link + '?urlvariable=' + otherQueryData AS myvariable just a thought.

Problem with Insert Using Select
I want to insert new records into a table which has MyUUID as its primary key as well as a column, VersionId, which needs to be updated. Each new record should be identical to the old record, except for a new MyUUID and an incremented VersionID. For example, this old record: MyUUID: BT784-PI89 MyName: Smith VersionID: 1 should have its corresponding new record: MyUUID: A622T-U8FF MyName: Smith VersionID: 2 I can't use the query syntax: INSERT into tbl (MyUUID, name, VersionID) SELECT MyUUID, name, VersionID FROM tbl WHERE MYUUID = '#form.MyUUID#' because that would be overwriting (making non-unique) the UUID, not to mention the version number. Is there a way to do the insert with the Select as well as a dynamically generated uuid? In other words, to simultaneously use the select for given columns (MyName) and passed-in values for other columns(MyUUID, VersionID). I need this to work with CF4.5; any ideas?

Stop Query From Caching
I have a page that calculates the shipping method after a person updates their cart. It looks in their shopping cart database table for the ship method, recalculates then redirects to the cart page. The problem is that sometimes the database gets changed, but the query runs off of "old" data. IE it's not making a new query. How can I force a query to use data from a table and not from cache?

Duplicates
Is there something wrong with my account on this list if I keep getting duplicate (well more like quadruplicate) messages? If there's something I'm doing wrong, please let me know so I can fix it. The great thing about the list is that it's so active. But when the messages are sent over and over again, it gets to be unmanagable.

list of page queries
Hello, does CF create a list of queries that are run on a page? I am using cf_dump for debugging like this: cfset scopelist = "application,session,form,request,url" cfloop list="#scopelist#" index="i" cf_dump v = #i# /cfloop I would like not to have to add queries to #scopelist# explicitly if I can avoid it.
