not necessarily better...but an alternative could be:
<cfset myLetter="q" />
<cfif refind('[A-Z]', myLetter) GT 0>
uppercase
<cfelseif refind('[a-z]', myLetter) GT 0>
lowercase
<cfelse>
i have no idea
</cfif>
reFind() is case-sensitive.
or to UDF it:
<cfscript>
function getCase(letter) {
var returnstring = "";
if (refind('[A-Z]', letter) GT 0) {
returnstring = "uppercase";
} else if (refind('[a-z]', letter) GT 0) {
returnstring = "lowercase";
} else {
returnstring = "i have no idea";
}
return returnstring;
}
</cfscript>
<cfset myLetter = "Q" />
<cfoutput>#getCase(myLetter)#</cfoutput>
