Yes, ASC(). http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/functions_a-b_25.html#110104 6 In the future, to answer questions like this, you might find it helpful to browse the CF documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/ >From there, choose "CFML Reference", then "CFML Functions", then "Functions by Category". This particular function would be in the "string function" category. You can usually find the function you want, without any specific background knowledge, in a few minutes. When I teach basic CF classes, I make a point of covering this, because it can really save you a lot of time.
