Howdy all - 
 
So I've been given the lovely task of parsing out an email of values from a 
submitted form. Those in the know are already growning... ;)
 
Well in short it all boils down to this right now. "How do you do a "contains" 
with commas in the values?"
 
 
original form feilds:
<input name="mover" value=" Hydrogen Storage" type="checkbox">
<input name="mover" value="Gas Transport" type="checkbox">
<input name="mover" value="Power / HVAC , Settle, Gas" type="checkbox">
<input name="mover" value="Line / Pipe" type="checkbox">
<input name="mover" value="Some Option not selected 1" type="checkbox">
<input name="mover" value="Some Option not selected 2" type="checkbox">
 
I am doing the following:
 
 
CurrentCompareVar = Power / HVAC , Settle, Gas      <----- this came out of a 
struct I have of each value with a key
 
mover = CurrentCompareAllOptions = Hydrogen Storage, Gas Transport, Power / 
HVAC , Settle, Gas, Line / Pipe 
 
 
The value for "CurrentCompareAllOptions" are all of the check boxes that were 
checked and emailed, thus I have no control over the value names otherwise you 
wouldn't be reading this and commas would not be in it except to separate 
values.
 
The "CurrentCompareVar" came out of a struct of all the values I manually 
populated from all the checkbox values on the form.
 
I then perform:
<cfif CurrentCompareAllOptions contains CurrentCompareVar>
  They checked this option.
</cfif>
It does not work. No, error. Just no match.
 
It does work for every "CurrentCompareVar " except if there are commas in the 
value.
 
For example if "CurrentCompareVar" = "Hydrogen Storage" I get a match.
or if "CurrentCompareVar" = "Line / Pipe" I get a match.
 
 
Let me know if more info is needed. 
 
Thanks to all who can help.
