Yes elegance requires interpretation. I find it interesting that everyone
interpreted it to mean "one line of code". Who taught you that??

@Marlon
"the more code you have, the higher the chance of bugs."
That's a straw man argument.

@Christopher
"speed difference between a solution like mine or..."
Performance is irrelevant in this situation. You're going to make your code
less readable to gain 5 milliseconds? (FYI: That's five one thousandth's of
one second.)

"struggle in the little company I work for as to when oop goes too far"
OOP is objects taking to each other. Are you sure your doing OOP? And not
quasi-OOP (procedural code dumped into objects).

@the UDF advocates
Yes, this is better. The code inside the function needs to be
readable/maintainable too. If you're just going to use it as a wrapper for
one of your "elegent" one liners, there's not much point.

@everyone
"an object would be overkill"
Famous last words! :)

I wish I had more time to debate. I think I'll start trying to come to the
meetings again!

not one liner, not elegent, just different.
It does take into account that it may be the only param though.
anyway, it took my mind off this jsp crap ive been doing all day, thanks!

<cfset params = right(cgi.HTTP_REFERER, find("?", cgi.HTTP_REFERER, 0)+1)>
<cfloop list="#params#" delimiters="&" index="i">
<cfif find("numPageID", i) GTE 1>
  <cfoutput>
   #getToken(i, 2, "=")#
  </cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfloop>

I want to see if someone can come up with a more elegant solution to
this problem.

Given:
CGI.HTTP_REFERER will always have a URL variable, "numPageID=xxx"
which is numeric and could be any size number.
The HTTP_REFERER may or may not have other URL variables in any order,
which could be alphanumeric or numeric
The current template needs to pull the value of the "numPageID" URL
variable out of the CGI.HTTP_REFERER

I'll show my solution in another post so as not to spoil anyone's view
on this problem, not saying that mine is best, of course!

Thanks,
Joe Kelly
