ListgetAt(fishweightinpounds,"2",".") will give you 16 Then you can do your calculations on that

I forgot part of it what I am actually trying to do is make a form to estimate the weight of a fish based upon length & girth. So the first part is ok ( I was leaving out a set of ()) so the first formula works and lets say that the fish is 29" long and 15" girth it would weight 8.16 pounds now the next part I don't know if I need a regex for or how to do it. I want to take the .16 from the weight (or variable c) and divide it by 16 to get the ounces so instead of the final answer being 8.16 pounds it would be 8 pounds 2.56 ounces. I can see how I could do another form to do it but it would be nice to have it done all in 1 shot. But I don't know how to get rid of the pounds part in the 2nd equation. any thoughts? thanks again:) Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Gruen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 4:21 PM Subject: RE: cf math ? > This should get you on your way... > -------------------------------------------------- > <CFLOCK timeout="4"> > <CFSET A = 5> > <CFSET B = 3> > <CFSET D = 800> > <CFSET C = ((#A# * #A#) * #B#) / #D#> > </CFLOCK> > <html> > <head> > <title>Simple Math</title> > </head> > <body> > <cfoutput>#NumberFormat(C, '_____.__')#</cfoutput> > </body> > </html> > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 12:34 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: cf math ? > > > i havent got to math functions yet but how would i do this in cf? > > > ((variableA x variableA) x variableB) / 800 = variableC > > thanks > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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.
