If you're running CFMX on Java 1.4, then you can make use of Java's regular expression facilities which are amazingly full-featured. I can't remember what package its in, but the main class in question is Pattern. The String class also has a couple RE-based methods that make use of that class internally to make common operations simpler. The CFMX RE engine is NOT based on it, because CFMX ships with 1.3, and these are new to 1.4, although I suspect that'll be an update at some point. barneyb --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
