RE: Simple regex question

Technically speaking, the regex that Ben or I posted isn't correct. You can't just have 17 alnum characters as each character (or character pairs) in a VIN has a specific slot. Plus, VINs don't have the letters I, O, or Q. Here's an excellent forum post about the subject.

This is incorrect: you need to properly call the function, and since you are NOT in cfscript block, you need to use cfset: cfset somevar = getProduct(3) You are NOT required to use cfset to call a function. Inside cfoutput, this is valid syntax and will call the function: #doSomething(Args)#

Don, the problem is that you are trying to output a complex object as a string. You need to do one of: - use cfdump to have CF display your query as HTML; - manually convert your query to a string; - extract the appropriate fields and output those instead; - change the function to return a
