RE: Replace function
It does look like it's supposed to be a carriage return, but the code is expecting cr to be a variable, probably that has the carriage return ASCII code in it.

>>What if a manager would like a printout of the days of the week and which employees are available to work on each of those days. If I worked for a company and had a manager liable to ask anything after a project has been designed, then of course, I would take a belt and suspenders and use a cross table. For the time being, I'm my own manager, and I have my customers pay for what the need, not for what they could possibly need in a couple of years. If they need new features later (and sometimes they do), I charge them for whatever it takes for doing it. Look, I never said that using cross tables is an heresy. I just say that saying "always use cross table" is abusive for the least, and I would even qualify it as a proof of lack of experience. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

It doesn't matter which types of data you store in those lists. How would you return a workable query? You can't, and you'd have to jump through a bunch of hoops and use CF code to sort it all out, just because you didn't want to use a link table. This isn't about how much data is stored as much as it is about the efficiency with which you can use the data. From your example, a simple, useful report would take workarounds to produce just because you refused to use a link table and save a few hundred extra kilobytes or so.

Re: Can I use replace function on a string to create form drop bo x options?
>>In this specific case, you have a fixed list of Boolean values. I said a "short list", it doesn't have to be fixed. It can be a list of codes related to a table with codes and description, and this table is expandable. But you don't always need a cross table between them. I use this for permissions to access areas in my CMS system. For the time being, I have about 15 areas to 20, this system could be good for more than 100 different areas, but I KNOW that I'll never need that much, it's as simple as that. I also have in the same database about 7500 photographs, and 2 individuals, each of whom may be identified in several photos, and yes, in THAT case I use a cross table. It's just a matter of judgment. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

This example has a couple of characteristics that are clearly identifiable; if you wanted to say that, in the case where you have those characteristics you might take an alternate approach, that's fine. In this specific case, you have a fixed list of Boolean values. But you don't say that, you simply say "take shortcuts" instead of "when you have a fixed list of Boolean values, you can store that within a single field of your existing table". And, in this case, you still wouldn't want to store this as a list, because that's more complicated than necessary. You'd simply use bit fields within your table. Now, that's not a shortcut, it's the proper way to handle a fixed list of Boolean values. So, in summary, your shortcut sucks. > This is ridiculous. ;-) Yes, it is.

and just because if i don't say it, somebody else will... it's generally not a good idea to store lists (delimited data) in relational databases. you've got a one-to-many relationship and would probably run into fewer issues in the future if you were to break it out as such.

Can I use replace function on a string to create form drop box options?
I've got a database field called option1 that contains two colors seperated by a comma: "red,yellow". What I'm trying to do is create a drop down form box that takes each color (delineated by the comma) and puts it into it's own option value like this: red yellow My first attempts have been with the replace function: ","ALL")#"> #size# However, it appears to be more complicated than that, that getting em only part of the option value line. Any suggestions or alternatives I'm not seeing here would be most appreciated. -jeff ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:257610 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: replace function
There's a fourth argument, which says to either replace only the first instance
of the substring ("ONE"), or all instances of the substring ("ALL"). "ONE" is
the default. To replace all the spaces, you need
#Replace(get_ing_img.sbclc_itme, " ", "", "ALL)#
See the docs for more details.

Here's an example. If I wanted to remove the number 1 from this string, that's simply Replace(myString,"1","","ALL") But if I wanted to remove all the numbers, I'd have to do Replace(myString,"1","","ALL") Replace(myString,"2","","ALL") Replace(myString,"3","","ALL") Replace(myString,"4","","ALL") Replace(myString,"5","","ALL") Replace(myString,"6","","ALL") Replace(myString,"7","","ALL") Replace(myString,"8","","ALL") Replace(myString,"9","","ALL") Replace(myString,"0","","ALL") Or REReplace(myString,"[^0-9]","","ALL") Regular Expressions can be quite powerful, and I've only scratched the surface.

Re: REReplace and Replace function
Tuan writes: > Can somebody explain what the difference is between the REReplace and Replace >function? Im confused when to use one or the other and their differences. replace() is a simple function to replace one character (or string of characters) with another. for example, in the string "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog", you could replace the word 'fox' with 'goldfish' by doing: reReplace() uses regular expressions (pattern matching) to determine what item/string/characters to replace. Instead of specifying a particular string/character to be replaced, you can specify a pattern (for example, the word 'foo' only if it's the last word in a sentence). I unfortunately still haven't fulfilled my ambition of learning regular expressions...but I'm sure that Ben Doom, the cf-talk RegExp Ninja (tm) will be happy to elaborate there :) Charlie > > > > > > > ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

I would replace the double quote with " Replace(FORM.Ad_Body,"""",""","ALL") It is better html anyway.

RE: Escaping quotes in Replace function for SQL Server 7
Aiden
You shouldn't have a problem if you are using SQL 7. I assume you are using
a CFQUERY rather than a stored proc if you have migrated from Access. Lets
say for example you want to insert a string containing your name in double
quotes into a varchar field your SQL needs to be:
INSERT INTO tablename(testfield)
Values('Hello "Aiden"')
this should work as long as the whole string is contained within single
quotes.
I'm guesing that at the mo you are putting double quotes around all of your
strings rather than single qoutes. If you change it to single this will
solve this problem although you will then have the problem that users will
not be able to enter text containing a single quote!there is a way
around this (I've done it before) but I can't remeber off the top of my
head. I'll have a think and get back to you

RE: replace function
Alright, figure out the index of the search string
in your larger string.
Then.. Figure out the length of the search string.
Now try something like this.
",
Insert("", BigStr, Pos+(searchStrLen-1)),
(Pos-1))>
#BigStr#
The complicated part is the insert.
It basically says Insert a begin font tag into the follow string
(which just happens to be another insert. the innser insert
inserts a string which is a close BOLD and FONT tag at the END
of your search word (given that you know the length and its
beginning position).

Subject: replace function
Hi
i am using the replace function with a search interface,
that when the results come out, if the search word is within the results, to
turn that word "red"
However,
it replaces the word with a Red version of the search_word
#ReplaceNoCase(Description, Search_Word, theReplacedWord , 'ALL')#
the problem with this is that it replaces the Case of the word with the case
of the Search_word, Meaning if i search "pens" it will replace a instance of
the word "Pens" (uppercase) with the search_word version.
is there a way to search for the word and just replace the color without
replacing the word??
Thanx
-Eli-
