RE: strip quotes
you can use the replace function or the right function, probably some others too. -Original Message- From: Robert Orlini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 8:59 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: strip quotes Hello, I know this is an easy one, but I don't use CF all the time so it escapes me.

RE: strip quotes
If you know that the only double-quote will be that last character, you can do: #replace(myString, , , all)# (i think that should work...escaping double quotes inside of double quotes always fries my brain). You can also use a conditional to check to see if the last character is a double-quote...and if so, remove that character: cfif right(myString, len(myString) IS cfset myString = right(myString, len(myString)-1) /cfif (same caveat applies re: escaping the quote :) hth, charlie -Original Message- From: Robert Orlini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 6:59 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: strip quotes Hello, I know this is an easy one, but I don't use CF all the time so it escapes me.

RE: strip quotes
rTrim removes spaces. If you want to remove one char from the end, you can use left. cfset newStr = left(oldStr,len(oldStr)-1) This says, basically, take N characters from the left where N is the length minus one. You could also use a regex to replace a single quote at the end. This code shows how the regex will remove the quote at the end, but won't do anything if the quote isn't there... cfset str = Foo moo cfset str2 = Ray cfset str = reReplace(str,$,) cfset str2 = reReplace(str2,$,) cfoutput#str# - #str2#/cfoutput === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Member of Team Macromedia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Robert Orlini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 7:59 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: strip quotes Hello, I know this is an easy one, but I don't use CF all the time so it escapes me.
