look at the string function in CF left() right() and mid() for your datestring conversion and the same function with the find to locate the start tag and find to get the position on the end tag the a mid to get the data or something along those line. Mind you this will not be the fastest process in the work. String searching and manipulations is not the fastest thing that CF can do but it can be done. Daniel -----Original Message----- From: Tony Hicks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 3:26 PM To: CF-Server Subject: Converting Dates AND Dropping Imported HTML Is there a way to import a page using cfhttp and then slicing cfhttp.content up so that if it says <start_tag> it knows to start gathering data at that point and if it says <end_tag> it knows to stop? I've done similar with importing delimited files into databases but the delimit value of cfhttp won't do this either. And is there a way to make it repeatedly do this all the way through the document til it has all the data? And on a similar note... i need to slice up a date in the format of MMDDYY and put a period in after every two digits... so it would be MM.DD.YY or even slashes would work, im not really concerned with the delimiter anymore.. I also want to say thanks to this list.. Sometimes the questions asked inspired me on my own ideas and many times I've harvested information from the answers given, it would surely have been alot harder for me to have come as far as I have without this list... Talk about a community, this is a strong one and people are always willing to help if they know how and in some cases just to point a person in the right direction.
