Re: remove a number from a series of numbers
Yes it is ;-) Now you probably want to know how ;-) There are quite a few ways to do this...someone will probably post some methods using regular expressionsyou can also look into the mid/right/left/replace functions which you can use to break apart the number and put it back together the way you want. So if you can be specific on what you want to do (i.e. the patternlike always remove the 3rd digit as per your example)then I can fire you something more specific Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

Re: remove a number from a series of numbers
Yup... convert it to a string using the ToString(). Remove the digit/char you want using RemoveChars() and use Val() to convert it back into a number.

Re: remove a number from a series of numbers
Is it possible to remove a digit from a multi-digit number IE: 2007 would become 207? You would have to treat the number as a string, loop over it and rebuild the string excluding that particular character or digit space. For your particular example: cfset OldValue = 2007 cfset NewValue = cfloop from=1 to=#Len(OldValue)# index=x cfif x NEQ 3 cfset NewValue = NewValue Mid(OldValue, x, 1) /cfif /cfloop cfoutput#OldValue# vs #NewValue#/cfoutput ~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:288293 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

is there a particular criteria that you're looking for? e.g. duplicate consecutive numbers? the 2nd digit? the 3rd digit?

RE: remove a number from a series of numbers
yea there are a lot of ways to do that.. If the digits always in the same position you could do a cfset newStr = left(1, '2007') right(2, '2007') alternatively if its the same sequence you could find/replace Is that not what you meant? -Original Message- From: John P [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 12:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: remove a number from a series of numbers Hi, Is it possible to remove a digit from a multi-digit number IE: 2007 would become 207?

You don't need to do type conversion in ColdFusion like that.

RE: remove a number from a series of numbers
Is it possible to remove a digit from a multi-digit number IE: 2007 would become 207? You could read the length to get the length to get the number of digits, Then make a decision as to which digit to remove, Then based on that and the number of total digits decide how many digits to read from the beginning of the string, then use the RIGHT and LEFT string read function to get the starting and ending digits, then concatenate the beginning and end reads into a single string. If you need help with that I can put together a small program, but you should be able to do with just a few Cfsets and RIGHT and LEFT. Robert B.
