Mike please look this cflib UDF:
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?id=437&enable=1 Could be a good start point: Generates a random 8-character password that is free of annoying easily confused characters such as 1 or l, O or 0. This is done by taking a UUID, combining parts of it into two-byte chunks, and treating the two-byte chunk as a hexadecimal number. This number is then converted into base-10 and converted into a chr(). iif(refind("(O|o|0|i|l|1|I|5|S)",new_password) gt 0,0,1); Cheers 2007/4/19, Mike Little <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > hey guys, > > i need to replace occurrences of 0,o,1 in a uid with valid characters. > > the uid is in the form XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XX > > so each time an invalid character is found a random 'valid' character is > generated and inserted in its place? > > really do not know where to start with this function. > > any tips would be appreciated. > > mike > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
