Does Not Contain Number
How do I check to see if a string includes (or does not contain) an integer or number. I am trying to check the Address form field to see if it 'Does Not Contain' a number as in 316 Spring Creek Dr. I want to see if they left out the 316. Thanks in advance for any help. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358365 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Does Not Contain Number
Is there a way to check the whole string and not just the first part in case it is a P.O. Box 316? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358367 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Does Not Contain Number
Well, you are doing a great job. I guess I am not communicating well. I was using the 316 as an example. I want to check an address field passed from a form where the value is unknown. I just want to be able to check using Does Not Contain or IsNumeric or other Cold Fusion test in a cfif statement to determine if the passed string contains a number. Does that help? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358369 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Does Not Contain Number
Use a regex. If refind(address, [0-9] You have a number Else No number My syntax may be off, but I think this is the logic you are looking for.

Re: Does Not Contain Number
I believe that refind will return zero if no digit. Therefore, you should be able to use cfif refind(/d, form.yourvar) On Apr 20, 2014 4:41 PM, David Moore dgmoor...@hotmail.com wrote: Well, you are doing a great job.

Re: Does Not Contain Number
For education reasons, what does the '/d' reference? How does that tell the statement to look for a number? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358372 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Does Not Contain Number
If you wanna get up to speed with regular expressions in ColdFusion, I've written a fair bit about them - from the ground up - on my blog: http://cfmlblog.adamcameron.me/search/label/Regular%20expressions Obviously Ben Nadel bangs on about them a lot on his blog too ;-) I think a good handle on regex is essential for anyone in our line of work, given we're basically manipulating text for a living. -- Adam On 20 April 2014 22:53, David Moore da...@upstateweb.com wrote: Very Helpful.

RE: Spam management for forms handling
do spamers really care about character recognition? Do these characters really have to look su ugly? From my experience no they don't. I have been using BHCaptch written by Bobby Hartsfield that generates a captcha from separate a-z letter images. The images we use are easily readable with just a grid or dot background colored for the style of the website design. We have not had any issues with bots getting past them even on sites we took over that were getting form spammed 20 or more times a day. We had good luck with the honeypot form field but found that some were first completed by a human then that same IP returned as a bot to fill out the form. But it did reduce it by a substantial amount. The captcha so far, anecdotally, has work the best. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website Design and Hosting Company P.O.

Re: Spam management for forms handling
Thought this was interesting in the context of the thread. I'm pretty sure Google has the resources to develop such algorithms, would it be juste for the fun of it, but spammers in general have neither the ressources neither the time and probably no interest at all to develop character recognition algorithms, even on plain printed characters. For me, those completely scrambled characters as just ridiculous paranoïa. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358379 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
