Hi, I have a query that I need to use to search a text field in a table. The text strings that are in the table in this field sometimes include a pound sign (#). Whenever I the query is run using a variable that includes a pound sign it returns no records. Here is an abbreviated example of my code.
There are two templates. The first is a form: <cfform action="Search.cfm" method="Post"> <cfinput type="text" name="SearchString"> <input type="submit"> </cfform> The second page: <cfquery name="TheSearch" datasource="TheDatabase"> SELECT * FROM TheTable WHERE TheTextField = '#SearchString#' </cfquery> Do I need to encode the variable somehow? Thanks, Eric Homa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
