Yeah, listen to him.
Billy's way is MUCH better. (read easier)

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)

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?
Sincerely yours,
Jim Gurfein
