I am using the below to format the number I get after calulating the % increase or decrease, which means this number can be positive or a negative number. The below works fine on Coldfusion, but on Lucee it throws an error - can't cast [- 6.50] string to a number value. Any idea how to workaround this.
<cfif money_deposit lt 0>
<cfset testVar = abs(NumberFormat(money_deposit,'99.99'))>
<cfelse>
<cfset testVar = NumberFormat(money_deposit,'99.99')>
</cfif>
You should be able to use javaCast
<cfif money_deposit lt 0>
<cfset testVar = abs(NumberFormat(javaCast("float", money_deposit),'99.99'))>
<cfelse>
<cfset testVar = NumberFormat(money_deposit,'99.99')>
</cfif>
First, remove any empty spaces. In any case, it is good practice to first test whether the input parameter is numeric.
<!--- Remove any spaces --->
<cfset money_deposit = REreplace(money_deposit,"\s","","all")>
<cfif isNumeric(money_deposit)>
<cfif money_deposit lt 0>
<cfset testVar = abs(NumberFormat(money_deposit,'-99.99'))>
<cfelse>
<cfset testVar = NumberFormat(money_deposit,'99.99')>
</cfif>
</cfif>
Number format returns a string
http://docs.lucee.org/reference/functions/numberformat.html
The problem is your formatting mask "99.99" means return a formatted number with two characters before the decimal point, the string value you are getting back is "- 6.50", with an extra space. Try using a mask for numberformat of either "9.99" or "09.99"

OK, so I've been banging my head against this one for a while and getting nowhere. I've been attempting to take the contents of a variable and parse the contained string into parts that would then be ingested into 5 separate variables. Seems simple enough right? Well, it has not proven to be simple at all, at least for me.
So I have a variable (PageContent) that contains the trimmed content from a CFHTTP request.
The PageContent variable now contains:
<tdnowrapalign=right>07/18/2020 13:00</td>
<tdalign=right>1002.12</td>
<tdalign=right>2,874,887</td>
<tdalign=right>12,766</td>
<tdalign=right>13,038</td>
It seems like there should be an easy way to write a loop that would loop over the tags in the "PageContent" variable assigning the content of each tag to a different variable. But every way I try to parse the data in the variable I either get an error (Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.) or I end up with the content that I originally had in the "PageContent" variable repeated within the loop.
For instance, if I had a loop that would run through 5 iterations and could grab the contents of the tags assigning each to a variable then the desired result would be:
DateTime = "07/18/2020 13:00"
Elevation = "1002.12"
Storage = "2,874,887"
Outflow = "12,766"
Inflow = "13,038"
After trying every example I could find here and elsewhere online I'm now on something like my 100th attempt. Now I'm trying to use regular expressions to grab the contents of the tags and assign them to variables but no luck there. What I ended up with was the entire contents of the PageContent variable being stuffed into each one of the variables. The result was not really unexpected since I don't know of a way to differentiate between the 3 identical "tdalign" tags, but still it seems like at least the first variable would have worked since the tag was different "tdnowrapalign".
<cfset i=5/>
<cfloop index = "LoopCount" from = "1" to = #i#>
<cfif i EQ 1>
<cfset dataDateTime = Replace(PageContent, "<[tdnowrapalign][^>]*>(.+?)</[td]>","","ALL")>
<cfelseif i EQ 2>
<cfset elevation = Replace(PageContent, "<[tdalign][^>]*>(.+?)</[td]>","","ALL")>
<cfelseif i EQ 3>
<cfset storage = Replace(PageContent, "<[tdalign][^>]*>(.+?)</[td]>","","ALL")>
<cfelseif i EQ 4>
<cfset outflow = Replace(PageContent, "<[tdalign][^>]*>(.+?)</[td]>","","ALL")>
<cfelseif i EQ 5>
<cfset inflow = Replace(PageContent, "<[tdalign][^>]*>(.+?)</[td]>","","ALL")>
</cfif>
<cfoutput>
<cfif isdefined("dataDateTime")>
dataDateTime = #dataDateTime#<br>
</cfif>
<cfif isdefined("elevation")>
elevation = #elevation#<br>
</cfif>
<cfif isdefined("storage")>
storage = #storage#<br>
</cfif>
<cfif isdefined("outflow")>
outflow = #outflow#<br>
</cfif>
<cfif isdefined("inflow")>
inflow = #inflow#<br>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
<cfset i = i - 1>
</cfloop>
Does anyone know if there is a way to get to the desired outcome I described where I end up with 5 variables containing the contents of the tags contained within the "PageContent" variable?
One way of doing it would be like this
<cfset PageContent = '<tdnowrapalign=right>07/18/2020 13:00</td>
<tdalign=right>1002.12</td>
<tdalign=right>2,874,887</td>
<tdalign=right>12,766</td>
<tdalign=right>13,038</td>' />
<cfset data = ListToArray(PageContent, '</td>', false, true) />
<cfset DateTime = ListLast(data[1], '>') />
<cfset Elevation = ListLast(data[2], '>') />
<cfset Storage = ListLast(data[3], '>') />
<cfset Outflow = ListLast(data[4], '>') />
<cfset Inflow = ListLast(data[5], '>') />

I have a set of list values in ColdFusion variable, and I need to replace all the list values into desired text.
For Example:
<cfset headerColumnList = "FirstName,LastName,Email,FrequentGuestID,IP Address,Time Stamp Email Marketing">
<cfset a="test1">
<cfset b="test2">
<cfset c="test3">
<cfset d="test4">
<cfset e="test5">
<cfset f="test6">
<cfloop index = "ListElement" list= "#headerColumnList#" delimiters = ",">
<cfoutput>
#replaceList("#ListElement#","FirstName,LastName,Email,FrequentGuestID,IP Address,Time Stamp Email Marketing","#a#,#b#,#c#,#d#,#e#,#f#",",")#
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
Output:
test1
test2
test3
test4
test5
Time Stamp test3 Marketing
In the above scenario. The value "Time Stamp Email Marketing" is supposed to be replaced with "test6" but I am getting in an alternative way where it is not replacing the phrase as a whole word. Can anyone tell me how do I replace the list phrases, any alternative for this?
Here you can use the ListQualify function to get exact result of an your scenario. So convert it in to qualify values and looping with that then you can replace it with your own list data. No need to change any order of a list values.
<cfset quoted = listQualify(headerColumnList,"''")>
<cfloop index = "ListElement" list= "#quoted#" delimiters = ",">
#replaceList(ListElement,quoted,"#a#,#b#,#c#,#d#,#e#,#f#")#
<br/>
</cfloop>
The code is working as written. You are seeing this because your check for "Email" in the replaceList() function is firing before the check for "Time Stamp Email Marketing". Notice the word "Email" in that string.
I don't know what your actual use case is but you can change the order of your code for this specific example to make it work like you want.
<cfset headerColumnList = "FirstName,LastName,Email,FrequentGuestID,IP Address,Time Stamp Email Marketing">
<cfset a="test1">
<cfset b="test2">
<cfset c="test3">
<cfset d="test4">
<cfset e="test5">
<cfset f="test6">
<cfloop index = "ListElement" list= "#headerColumnList#" delimiters = ",">
<cfoutput>
#replaceList("#ListElement#","FirstName,LastName,FrequentGuestID,IP Address,Time Stamp Email Marketing,Email","#a#,#b#,#d#,#e#,#f#,#c#",",")#
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
This gives the desired output. Notice how I reordered the conditions within the replaceList() function.
I am getting an error after upgrade from coldfusionOX to coldfusion 10.
Error Occurred While Processing Request Complex object types cannot be
converted to simple values.
The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression
result as a simple value. However, the result cannot be converted to a
simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and
date/time values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of
complex values. The most likely cause of the error is that you tried
to use a complex value as a simple one. For example, you tried to use
a query variable in a cfif tag.
It occurs at line " cfloop index="local.thisRight" list="#rights#" ". It seems like ColdFusion does not like the "rights" here.
Anyone can give me some help? Thanks so much.

A bit earlier in your code you do this:
<cfif local.getAffiliations.relationshipType is "interested">
I think you need the same query name prefix in front of "rights" that is used when evaluating "relationshipType".
Try this:
#local.getAffiliations.rights#
HTH!
I am betting it is failing on this line:
<cfloop index="local.thisRight" list="rights" >
You are attempting to use the string "rights" as a list. My first reaction would be that you need to make that:
<cfloop index="local.thisRight" list="#rights#" >
I am trying to check to see if data exist in my form If data does not exist I want to assign it to O. How can I do this.
<cfif not isDefined("FORM.Age")>
cfset FORM.Age = "0"
<cfif>
Generally the best practice is considered to be to avoid isDefined. This is because isDefined will search all scopes until it finds a matching variable. So it's more efficient to use structKeyExists, eg:
<cfif NOT structKeyExists(form, "age")>
<cfset form.age = 0>
</cfif>
Also, another way to achieve this is to use cfparam, and specify 0 as the default:
<cfparam name="form.age" default="0">
You're almost there:
<cfif not isDefined("FORM.Age")>
<cfset Form.Age = 0>
</cfif>
Technically what you have is fine once you enclose the cfset in tags < and >. Assuming that omission is just a typo, could it be you are trying to use it with a text field?
Text fields always exist on submission. The value may be an empty string, but the field itself still exists, so IsDefined will always return true. If that is the case, you need to examine the field length or value instead. Then do something if it is empty according to your criteria. For example:
<!--- value is an empty string --->
<cfif NOT len(FORM.age)>
do something
</cfif>
... OR
<!--- value is an empty string or white space only --->
<cfif NOT len(trim(FORM.age))>
do something
</cfif>
... OR
<!--- convert non-numeric values to zero (0) --->
<cfset FORM.Age = val(FORM.Age)>
There are actually two things you want to to ensure. First, make sure this page was arrived at by submitting the proper form. Next, ensure you have a numeric value for the form.age variable. Here is an example of how you might want to code this:
<cfif StructKeyExists(form, "age") and cgi.http_referrer is what it should be>
<cfif IsNumeric(form.age) and form.age gt 0>
<cfset AgeSubmitted = int(form.age)>
<cfelse>
<cfset AgeSubmitted = 0>
</cfif>
...more code to process form
<cfelse>
...code for when page was not arrived at properly
</cfif>
I have the below code:
<cfset abcList = "*,B,b,A,C,a">
<cfset abcList=ListToArray(abcList,',')>
When I output 'abcList' then it is giving me a value but when I use the 'abcList' in <cfif> it's not working. Here is the code which is creating the problem:
<cfoutput>
#abcList[1]# <!---This is giving '*' as Correct o/p--->
<cfif #abcList[1]# eq '*'> <!---Here its going in else--->
list has * at first place
<cfelse>
* is not first
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
Any suggestions on what's wrong in my code?
You don't necessarily need to convert the list to an array. If you are starting from a list variable, you may use Coldfusion list functions to do the same thing without specifying the array conversion.
<cfset abcList = "*,B,b,A,C,a">
<cfif Compare(listGetAt(abcList, 1), '*') EQ 0>
Match
<cfelse>
No Match
</cfif>
Note that most of Coldfusion's string comparisons are not case sensitive. So if you need to test that 'B' is not the same as 'b', you will need to use the compare() function or else use one of the Regular Expression string functions. In this case, compare() returns 0 if string 1 equals string 2. If you do not need case sensitivity, then you may simplify further:
<cfset abcList = "*,B,b,A,C,a">
<cfif listGetAt(abcList, 1) EQ '*'>
Match
<cfelse>
No Match
</cfif>
It also works fine for me. Perhaps you have some extra spaces in the list values? That would skew the results:
<cfset abcList = "#chr(32)#*,B,b,A,C,a">
<cfset abcList=ListToArray(abcList,',')>
<cfoutput>
The value of abcList[1] = #abcList[1]# <br/>
<cfif abcList[1] eq '*'>
list has * at first place
<cfelse>
The else condition was hit because abcList[1] is "(space)*" and not just "*"
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
Try trimming the value first. Also, the # signs around the value are not needed.
<cfif trim(abcList[1]) eq '*'>
....
</cfif>
If that does not work, display the ascii values of both characters. Perhaps they are different than you are thinking.
<cfoutput>
ASCII abcList[1] = #asc(abcList[1])# <br/>
ASCII "*" = #asc("*")# <br/>
</cfoutput>
<cfset abcList = "*,B,b,A,C,a">
<cfset abc=ListToArray(abcList)>
<cfif #abc[1]# eq "*">OK<cfelse>FAIL</cfif>
<cfif abc[1] eq "*">OK<cfelse>FAIL</cfif>
Prints "OK OK" for me. Can you re-confirm it prints something else for you?
