Separating Strings

[eric-one]

I have a form field that has 4 characters when submitted. I need to be able to separate these characters and store them in unique variables for later use. Any thoughts?

--- Mid function worked Thanks--
<cfset myVar1= '#Mid(form.field, 1, 1)#'>
<cfset myVar2= '#Mid(form.field, 2, 1)#'>
<cfset myVar3= '#Mid(form.field, 3, 1)#'>
<cfset myVar4= '#Mid(form.field, 4, 1)#'>

Look at the function MID(str,pos,len) in the documentation. If this doesn't help, try reposting your question maybe with a small sample of what you currently have.

You could convert the string in the form field to an array.
