no, i mean i need to validate that the the value i pass in to that function is
a valid float. e.g. 10.00 would pass but a2.00 would not pass:
i need it to validate the value based on the criteria:
(+ or - optional, following by a mandatory 0-9 number, followed by as many
other numbers 0-9, then followed by a mandatory dot, followed by another
mandatory number, then followed by as many other optional numbers at then end)
here is my full function:
<cffunction name="isValidFloat" hint="is passed a value, and checks to ensure
it is a valid float, and either returns true or the error">
<cfargument name="value" type="any" required="true">
<!--- declare the regaulr expression set --->
<cfset var floatRegEx = "(?!^[\+|-]?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)$)"> <!--- allowable --->
<!--- if no error is found then it returns the length of the string plus 1
--->
<cfif refind(floatRegEx,value) neq (len(value)+1)>
<cfreturn 'Invalid Float'>
<cfelse>
<cfreturn true>
</cfif>
</cffunction>
if i pass in the value '10.00' then it is returning that it is invalid. and i
cannot work out why, if i dump out the result of the refind then it says 2 on
this value 10.00
thanks for your help
