Indicate space

[antonherer]

I am sort of half-assedly putting together a search function to search only specified keywords on a site and I need to know how to indicate a space in the code. The line in question looks like this: <cfif string_array[counter]=&quot; &quot;>. What do I put between the quote marks so ColdFusion will look for a space in the string?

Try using #chr(32)#

If your search mechanism is using the URL query string to pass the search phrase, it's probably getting URLEncoded.

So... you'd either need to compare against the URLEncoded space character:

"%20"

or you'd need to URLDecode the search phrase before comparing:

<CFSET sSearchPhrase = URLDecode(URL.searchbox)>

then you can look for a regular space

" "
