String function need help!

Dear guys,

Anyone know how to display the value only after the “-” from “Singapore , Singapore - Bangkok, Thailand” in coldfusion. It means I just need to display “Bangkok, Thailand” instead of whole string. Thanks in advance!

 

Search on "coldfusion split." cflib.org has a udf for a split function. Then you can split on '-'.

So something like
<cfset arrMySplit = Split( InStr, '-')>
<cfoutput>#arrMySplit [2]#</cfoutput> <!--- CF arrays are 1 based -->

 

Thank you Aztral! Will try it out!

 

Just do a ListGetAt

<cfset String ="Singapore , Singapore - Bangkok, Thailand">

<cfoutput>#ListGetAt(string, 2, '-')#</cfoutput>

 

Or you could do this:

<cfset string = "Singapore, Singapore - Bangkok, Thailand" />

<cfset string = replace(string, #string# , "Bangkok, Thailand", "one")

 

except that is assuming the string isnt dynamically generated - the list get at works with a dynamic string

 

Very good point.

 

Thank you

 

Now this is great - you guys are really showing the true dynamism of ColdFusion!!!!
