:) Hi Frank,
:) 
:) Cold Fusion has several powerful string-manipulation 
:) functions built right
:) in.. For example, you might look into using ReReplace for 
:) some of that "Find
:) and replace" stuff..
:) 
:) Here's an example:
:) 
:) #ReReplaceNoCase("#pagecontent#", "ABC Corp.", "ABC INC.", ALL)#
:) 
:) Would return the string defined in the variable 
:) #pagecontent# with all
:) instances of "ABC Corp." replaced by "ABC INC.".
:) 
:) Cold Fusion Studio has excellent built-in help, it covers 
:) every Colf Fusion
:) tag as well as all functions, and is completely searchable 
:) by keyword.  I
:) use the built-in help in CF Studio more than both Forta 
:) books combined
:) (Don't tell Ben!).
:) 
:) Hope this helps,
:) 
:) Seth

:) :) 
:) :) I'm from a Frontier background. One of Frontier's 
:) greatest strengths 
:) :) is that it can chew up strings to beat the band.
:) :) 
:) :) Examples:
:) :) 
:) :) Let's say (all other considerations aside) that I wanted 
:) to replace 
:) :) all <li> with say <image> <p class="">. Piece of cake. I've been 
:) :) looking for such things in Cold Fusion. I notice that it's 
:) :) phenomenal 
:) :) at database manipulation, but doesn't seem so strong on strings. 
:) :) Another example would be that I could replace all 
:) incidents of "Abc 
:) :) Corp." with "ABC INC." either in the template, or in the 
:) :) body just as 
:) :) processed. Another example would be to find/replace all 
:) incidents of 
:) :) "ABC" with "XYZ" in the database itself. I'm finding this to be 
:) :) lacking in Cold Fusion
:) :) 
:) :) My questions are
:) :) 
:) :) 1) Are these abilities here in CF, and is it just my 
:) :) inexperience/lack of deep knowledge that I'm running into,
:) :) 
:) :) 2) Can this be done in CF, but lots of work-arounds are required,
:) :) 
:) :) 3) Am I indeed noticing what truly is?
:) :) 
:) :) 
:) :) I'd be interested in hearing of any cool string manipulation 
:) :) tips you may have.
