With CF8 (and equiv) there is a new rematch function, which would allow: <cfset NumbersOnly = rematch( 'Image12334blue' , '\d+' )/> Which is selecting the numbers rather than stripping the non-numbers. The difference in behaviour would be if you had non-consecutive numbers, e.g. "Image12334blue1" - with the rereplace method, you would get "123341", but with rematch you get an array containing "12334" and "1". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:314954 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
