Using CFIF to filter 1

[monoone]

Hello;

I have to create a quick fix in order to output a special item.

So,

I want to do this:

If the field iContent has ONLY ** in the field, it will not show. BUT, if the field has ** more text. It will show.

Can I do this with CFIF?

Many thanks,

Eric

Not sure i understand exactly what you wanted but this should work. * needs to be in "quotes"

<cfoutput>
<cfif iContent<>'**'>
#iContent#
</cfif>
</cfoutput>

Hope this helps

Close...

<cfif icontent is not "**">show it</cfif>

BradGetKin, welcome to Tek-Tips... enjoy your stay..

I'd guess that you're new to coldfusion, you cannot use brackets inside tags.. and the preferred quotation for cold fusion is usually ".. So in order to quote a quote you can say '"' or "[red]""[/red]" (double the quotes).

Good of you to help though, and I wasn't trying to step on your toes, have a star for the effort and enjoy your day.
