    Well I can confirm there's no inbuilt CF function that covers this: it's a bit out of CF's niche.

    I would also be surprised if there is a native Java method to cover it too, although a quick google on your part should answer that question.

    If I was faced with this and had drawn a blank regarding a native CF or Java solution, I'd just roll my own function.  I can't imagine the algorithm is terribly complicated.

    One could always check cfifb.org or riagorge.com to see if anyone has already rolled their own and made it avaialable.
