    <cfif isdefined("url.InputText") AND url.InputText NEQ "">
        #url.InputText#
    <cfelse>
        No input
    </cfif>

Well sorry for waisting your time m8!, I just thought that Discussions in Getting Started was a good place to ask newbie questions after running a search in the livedocs a place that specializes in cf related questions and not getting much help back "http://community.adobe.com/help/search.html?l=coldfusion_product_adobelr&requiredfields=book:Adobe%2520ColdFusion%25208&self=1&q=neq" I decided to ask in a place I thought I would get a quick and direct answer back... I will google all my newbie questions from now on, and once again sorry to be a bother.

And don't think im not greatfull for your answer cause I am, I spent hours searching google for other questions and I only have a few hours per day to work on my project and learn cfml/html/css/sql and I know thats not your problem so sorry if I come across as a a**h*** looking for a quick fix.

ps. thanks Ian Skinner your a star.

Don't sweat it. We are just having some fun.

I have to say though, that I have not purchased a CF book in years. I just google whatever it is that I need and I come up with the answer

in short order.

Just to let some people know.

The only reason that my post did not contain links to the documenation and|or google searches, was that Adam beat me to the punch.

Thanks to his seven or eight hour advantage on me, he often gets to these posts before I can! I suspect he is trying to win whatever award one gets for earning all the points!

Heh. Because - like - you're short of points, Ian. You're the teacher's bloody pet, mate!

I do actually sometimes question WhyTF I bother trying to help people here. This thread being one of those times.

Anyhow... just started a new job in which I am closer to the bottom of the ladder than the top (that's a bit of a rude awakening!), so I shan't be responding quite so much here as I usually do, as they seem to have an expectation of me doing some work (cheeky buggers). So I should be getting less in the way of you and your points from now on ;-)

I googled "coldfusion neq", and the first, second and third results all had the answer you're after. The third result is from the CF docs themselves (albeit the ones for CFMX v6.0).

So maybe that is a tactic to use for finding stuff out in future. This time around... here's the relevant page of the current docs:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec09d55-7ffc.html#WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec09d55-7ff9

Which says, in short, this:

Operator	Description
IS EQUAL EQ	Perform a case-insensitive comparison of two values. Return True if the values are identical.
IS NOT NOT EQUAL NEQ	Opposite of IS. Perform a case-insensitive comparison of two values. Return True if the values are not identical.

Operator

Description

EQ

IS NOT

Opposite of IS. Perform a case-insensitive comparison of two values. Return True if the values are not identical.

HTH.

Hey Adam, is that Google thing something new?

Hey Adam, is that Google thing something new?

It's just something I've been working on in my spare time: it's kind of a document indexer thingey. "Google" is just a code name whilst I develop it, when it's released, I'm going to call it "Search Engine".

I only have time to work on it in those few moments I have between copying&pasting URLs to the CF docs for people here. Progress is - accordingly - rather slow.
