Chris, I'm not sure this is exactly what you are after but it may work for you. This function actually strips non-numeric digits from a passed string
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=433 <cfscript> /** * Returns the passed string with all non-numbers removed (letters, punctuation, whitespace, etc.). * * @param textStr String containing numbers you want returned. * @param allowDec Boolean (yes/no) indicating whether to preserve decimal points. Default is No. * @return Returns a number. * @author Mark Andrachek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) * @version 1, December 18, 2001 */ function GetNumbers(textstr) { if (arraylen(arguments) GTE 2) { return REReplace(textstr,"[^0-9\.]",'','ALL'); } else { return REReplace(textstr,"[^0-9]",'','ALL'); } } </cfscript> Ron.

I've got problem with the IsNumeric function in ColdFusion. I've got a page set up with a form on it. On the page this form calls I am doing validation to make sure the entered value is numeric by using the IsNumeric function - IsNumeric(form.variable) If I pass in a value like 74d6, it passes this validation and when I do an output on the variable it's coming out as 74,000,000. Anyone have an idea of why? Does it have something to do with the hex value? If I pass in the value 74a6 it works fine and the validation fails. I'm wanting to make sure the form field is a number and there is no character data in it. For this situation I can't use the input to do the validations.
