why not just do something like <cfset pCode = ListLast(ListGetAt(ListLast(CGI.HTTP_REFERER, "?"), ListFindNoCase(ListLast(CGI.HTTP_REFERER, "?"), "pCode", "&"), "&"), "=")>
its a bit messy and untested - but... -----Original Message----- From: Nick Han [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 3:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: regular expressions (was: please do my work for me) that's messy i think. i would loop through the cgi.http_referer. <cfset pCodeValue="No pCode value Found"> <cfloop list="#cgi.http_referer#" index="i" delimiters="&"> <cfif Find("pCode",i) and ListLen(i,"=") eq 2> <cfset pCodeValue=ListGetAt(i,2,"=")> </cfif> </cfloop> <cfoutput>#pCodeValue#</cfoutput> With this, it doesn't matter what the length of pCode value, you will get the exact number returned. Nick Han >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/25/02 02:48PM >>> Ooops I'm sorry, I'm actually trying to extract this value from the cgi.HTTP_REFERER variable. Here's what I'm currently using: <cfif (isDefined("cgi.HTTP_REFERER")) AND (FindNoCase("pCode=", CGI.HTTP_REFERER))> <cfset variables.pCode = mid(cgi.HTTP_REFERER,FindNoCase("pCode=", CGI.HTTP_REFERER)+6,2)> </cfif> My only problem is when the pCode starts to vary in length - they're not going to be two digits forever.
