AccessPatternMatchingFormat(string)
Last updated August 14, 2002
Version: 2 | Requires: ColdFusion 5 | Library: StrLib
Description:
A visitor may enter wildcard characters into a search string without realising. An invalid search string can then produce either a database error or odd results. This is a particular problem with double-byte languages like Japanese where a [ for example may be hidden inside a character.
Return Values:
Returns a string.
Example:
"98.3%" becomes "#AccessPatternMatchingFormat("98.3%")#"
</cfoutput>
Parameters:
| Name | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| string | The string to format. | Yes |
