How about this... cfset mylist = reReplace(mylist,.*?\.cfm/,,ONE) seems to work. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339814 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Split String
I love that about this list.. you can always learn something new.. I used: cfset foorl = thislocation/thisdir/thissite/thispage.cfm/var1/var2/var3/var4 cfset length = len(foorl)+1 / cfset pos = find(.cfm/, foorl) + len(.cfm/)/ cfset foo = mid(foorl, pos, length) / cfoutput#foo#/cfoutput On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 9:23 AM, Rick Root rick.r...@gmail.com wrote: How about this... cfset mylist = reReplace(mylist,.*?\.cfm/,,ONE) seems to work. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339815 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: Split String
listrest(listlast(thestring, .), /\) should give you 'var1/var2/var3/var4' This seems to be working. Thanks for the assist. Now I'll share the results. What I wanted to do was break any url containing obfuscated vars into into elements I could work with for queries, etc. This now seems to be working to do just that, regardless of the URL structure. Now I can use urls like ... http://mypage.cfm/var1/var2/var3 instead of urls like http://mypage.cfm?var1=value1var2=value2var3=value3 Much better for SEO. cfset url_vars=#listrest(listlast(cgi.REQUEST_URI, .), /\)# / !--- strips the variables obfuscated as '/' delmited values from the URI string --- cfset url_var_count=#listlen(url_vars, /)# !--- counts the number of variables --- cfif url_var_count gt 0 cfloop from=1 to=#url_var_count# index=i cfset url_var#i#=#listGetAt(url_vars, i, /)# !--- extracts variables and assigns each a numbered value 'url_varX' --- /cfloop /cfif !--- below is only used to see output list of created variables; not really needed to use the variables --- cfif url_var_count gt 0 cfoutput cfloop from=1 to=#url_var_count# index=i Variable#i#=#evaluate(url_var#i#)#br / /cfloop /cfoutput cfelse No / delimited variables found in URL string /cfif Robert B.

Re: Split String
I'd use CF's underlying java core in this case, as in: cfset theList = thislocation/thisdir/thissite/thispage.cfm/var1/var2/var3/var4 cfset theOtherPart = theList.split(.cfm) / cfset theLastPart = theOtherPart[2] / cfset request.cfdumpinited = false / cfdump label=theOtherPart var=#theOtherPart# expand=true / cfdump label=theLastPart var=#theLastPart# expand=false / cfabort / hth, larry I have a string like this: thislocation/thisdir/thissite/thispage. cfm/var1/var2/var3/var4 I want to split the string to get just that data that follows .cfm/, which would be var1/var2/var3/var4. Tried all the list function I can think of, but that's not the right approach. How can all get only the data that follows the literal . cfm/? Thanks Robert B.

RE: Split String
How is that any different to listGetAt(list, 2, '.cfm/') and its shorter code.

Re: Split String
First my earlier post completely disregarded the fact that you'd have / chars BEFORE the .cfm, so sorry about neglecting that tid bit. Secondly I'd like to recommend not using so many #'s where they aren't needed. I've worked the code below to illustrate what I mean. Also, to avoid #'s on the left hand side of assignment as well as reducing the use of evaluate I'd recommend using either a struct or an array for storing your url_var vars. cfset url_vars = listrest(listlast(cgi.REQUEST_URI, .), /\) / !--- strips the variables obfuscated as '/' delmited values from the URI string --- cfset ary_vars = ListToArray(url_vars,/,true) / !--- Create array of vars --- !--- below is only used to see output list of created variables; not really needed to use the variables --- cfif ArrayLen(ary_vars) cfoutput cfloop from=1 to=#ArrayLen(ary_vars)# index=i Variable#i# = #ary_vars[i]#br / /cfloop /cfoutput cfelse No / delimited variables found in URL string /cfif ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339864 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
