Does somebody know the code to detect the Blackberry version with coldfusion?

First, i have code to detect if its a blackberry :

<cfif findNoCase('BlackBerry', CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT)>

And if its a blackberry i need to detect the version of the OS because our mobile site only support version 4.5.0.127 and up.  If the version is under that i have to redirect the user to another page to tell him that his OS version is not supported, they have to update there OS before using our mobile site.

Please HELP!!!

Here is what i finaly use.. quite simple........

<cfset a = '#mid(CGI.http_user_agent,16,3)#'>

<cfif #a# LTE 4.5>

Not supported

</cfif>

Forget about regular expression and don't drink and drive..............

With JSP the code look like this and its working fine but i can't use JSP because our server do not support it.

if (request.getHeader("user-agent").matches("^BlackBerry[0-9]{0,6}.*") && !request.getHeader("user-agent").matches("^BlackBerry[0-9]{0,6}/(4\\.(5\\.(0\\.(1(2[7-9]|[3-9]{1}\\d{1})|[2-9]{1}\\d{2}){1}|[1-9]){1}|[6-9]|1[0-9]){1}|[5-9]|1[0-9]){1}.*") ) {

I can use javascript, but i go some syntax error :

<script language=javascript>
<!--
if((navigator.userAgent.match(/blackberry/i)) && !request.getHeader("user-agent").matches("^BlackBerry[0-9]{0,6}/(4\\.(5\\.(0\\.(1(2[7-9]|[3-9]{1}\\d{1})|[2-9]{1}\\d{2}){1}|[1-9]){1}|[6-9]|1[0-9]){1}|[5-9]|1[0-9]){1}.*") ) )

{
location.href='notcompatible.cfm';
}
-->
</script>

I would prefer to use coldfusion if possible because its our main language.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me

You might want to read this lot, detailing how CF implemented regexes, and which functions to use:
