Trimming off extra characters

[leatherjeep]

Hi,

I am trying to find out what the CF Function is to trim characters off a variable. For example:

We have a series of variables for filenames such as 2007/filename.jpg, 2007/filename2.jpg, etc, and we want to program the Cold Fusion to strip off the 2007/ so that we are just left with the filename. We just can't seem to find the CF Tag to do that. Can anyone help?

Many Thanks.

Any one of these functions would do:

Right()
Mid()
RemoveChars()

It looks like you intend to remove the initial 5 characters everytime. So here:

<cfset oldName = "2007/filename2.jpg">
<cfset newName = removeChars(oldName, 1, 5)>
<cfoutput>#newName#</cfoutput>

Don't forget the replace and Regular Expression replace methods.

AWESOME!

Have an excellent weekend!

You have a slash-delimited list. You can also do the following:

<CFSET foo = ListLast(myString, "/")>
