Search for "." and remove characters

[CFdutch]

Hi,

I want to check if someone filled in a dot (".") in a specific formfield. If someone fills in test.com, I want to remove the .com piece...

The size is variable it could be for instance 100 characters or 3 chars. Has this something to do with the Eval() function??

Thanks in advance

<CFSET formfield=Replace(formfield,".","",ALL)>
should be <CFSET formfield=Replace(formfield,".","","ALL")>
Thanks ;-)

But now I've still got the text behind the, that now is attached to the text before the dot... How can I remove that??

Rudy, he wants to remove everything after the dot as well.

CFDuch eval() is a JS function Evaluate() is the CF version but is not what you want.
if you want to do this client side visit the JS forum
if you want a server side solution try this

<cfset formfield=listFirst(formfield, ".")>
will give you everything before the . assuming they only put in one .
if they put in

http://www.test.com

you will get www

you may want to trap and see how many .'s they put in

<cfif listLen(formField,".") eq 2>
<cfset formfield=listFirst(formfield, ".")>
<cfelse>
tell user they messed up
</cfif>

That was what I was looking for!
