Question

Using ColdFusion, if the result of a variable is not correctly formatted when rendered, how do I change it? For example, i have a variable #number# and its displayed value is ,3642, but I want it to be displayed like 3642 instead.

How can I achieve this formatting?

Answer 1

You can replace all non-numeric characters with a regular expression.

<!--- Your original variable --->
<cfset input = ",3642," />

<!--- This is your solution --->
<cfoutput>#rereplaceNocase(input,'[^0-9]','','all')#</cfoutput>
