Hi folks,
I realize this is probably elementary for most of you but I'm not seeing
the solution I need for this. I have 2 dates being passed from a form in
this format 07/10/2008 and I am trying to check to see if these dates
have passed today's date in Coldfusion. Not having much success with it
at this point and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried
the following by stripping out everything that's not numeric, but of
course that won't work, but it was a nice exercise in using replace J
TIA
<cfset ThisDate = now()>
<cfset TheDate = DateFormat(ThisDate, 'mm/dd/yyyy') />
<cfset justThisNumber = rereplace(TheDate,"[^[:digit:]]*","","all")>
<cfset justThatNumber =
rereplace(form.fromDate,"[^[:digit:]]*","","all")>
<cfset justTheOtherNumber =
rereplace(form.toDate,"[^[:digit:]]*","","all")>
<cfif justThatNumber LT justThisNumber OR justTheOtherNumber LT
justThisNumber>
<script>
alert("The from or to date you entered has already passed,
please enter a new date.");
history.back();
</script>
<cfelse>
Bob
