Hi, can someone tell me what this does:
Code:
<cfset Address = LJustify(left(Address, 40), 40)>
<cfset city = LJustify(left(City, 40), 40>
<cfset state = LJustify(left(state, 2), 2)>

Thanks.

Standard CF function - look it up in help.

It returns a LENGTH-sized field with STRING at the beginning.
 
LEFT()
Returns the count of characters from the beginning of a string argument.

LEFT(STRING, COUNT)

STRING:String from which the leftmost characters are retrieved

COUNT:positive integer; number of characters to return

------------------------------------------------------------

LJustify()
Returns left-justified string of a field length

LJustify(string, length)

SRING:String to left-justify

LENGTH:Length of field
