    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 -->

    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
