Hi,

I'd like to know if there is any function in Coldfusion that returns to me the first character of a string. For example, i have a session variable & i'd like to extract the
first alphabet/character from it. Is there a function that allows me to do so ?

Thank You.

Try this code

<cfset s = &quot;Hello&quot;>
<cfset x = left(s, 1)>
<cfoutput>
#x#
</cfoutput>
