Hi Bill,
You might try the 'replace' function and replace any instances of the '/'
with ''.
The nice thing for you here is that you can use it judiciously, only on
problem pages.
Replace('/', '')

Subject: Problems - need help...
Ok, here is my problem, I built a site for the Carpet industry in the Dalton
area and it's a very busy site for the type of site it is. Over a million
users a month now. I setup an error checking method with CFTRY and CFCATCH
after reading about them on this list. They work perfectly by the way.
Here is my problem though, I am seeing the same type of error quite often.
I used URL strings a lot while building this site and so just about every
page has a string that is required to get to it. I have noticed that for
some reason people are putting in a / at the end of the string which is
throwing my queries off and thus triggering the errors. I need to find a
way to catch that / at the end and strip it off so that people don't get the
error page. Here is an example of what a typical URL might look like
drill_down_2.cfm?page=1&sub=1 but what seems to cause the error is when it's
like this drill_down_2.cfm?page=1&sub=1/ any ideas on how to catch that /
and take it off. I know that there are ways, but my brain is fried this
morning as I am in the middle of another big project and don't have the time
I need to throw at this one. I guess we all know how that works though....
TIA!
