So... what rules are you working with? Are you saying that any leading/trailing zeros should be ignored? If so, rereplace(string1, '^0*|0*$', '', 'all') should remove leading/trailing zeros. So if you have: <cfset string1 = "0010as10000" /> <cfset string2 = "10as1" /> <cfoutput>#compareNoCase(rereplace(string1, '^0*|0*$', '', 'all'), rereplace(string2, '^0*|0*$', '', 'all'))#</cfoutput> should return 0 (no differences in the compareNoCase()) -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:321384 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
