Handle your string as a list with a space as your delimiter - compare
against each element in the list ("st" in a word won't be an element by
itself)--- Billy Cravens -----Original Message----- From: Jim Gurfein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 4:22 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Wild Card I'm stumped... If a city is entered as "St Louis", I want to change it to "Saint Louis". I did <cfif city contains "st "> and did a replacement (note the space after "st". However, if I have a city such as "East Hartford" the "st " is changed to "saint" as well... essentially, I need to know if the "st" (or "st.") is stand alone and not preceded by any other letter. Any ideas?
