Hi,
Can someone please let me know what the ColdFusion regular expression would be for a ratio. So that it only accepted a number on either side with a colon in the middle, for example:
50:1
200:100
etc ...
Thanks in advance!

mkishline, in coldfusion you don't really have to specify the start and end of a regex with ^ and $.
It's not incorrect, it definitely does work, just adding my 2 cents...
here's my version...
<cfscript>
testvalue = '100:900';
if(refind('([0-9]+:[0-9]+)
writeoutput('test passed');
}else{
writeoutput('test failed');
}
</cfscript>
then in that case mkishline would be correct in using the ^ and $ in the regex and the cfinput would look somthing like this...
<cfform name="test" action="" method="post">
<cfinput type="text" name="testValues" validate="regular_expressi
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="TEST!">
</cfform>

<cfset check = REFind("^[0-9]+:[0-9]+$",s
<cfif check GT 0>
<!--- The number is a valid ratio --->
<cfelse>
<!--- The number is not a valid ratio --->
</cfif>
