jyokum hit it right on the head, just to give some flavor though, assuming your visitors always use the - you can do listfirst(form.zipcode,'-'<wbr />). jyokum's is more reliable though.

Hi experts:<br />
<br />
I have a form field for zipcode in US. My problem is that sometimes people tend to put in the post box number after the zip code, like 12345-4444. I'm using the first 5 digits to compare it with a zip code database i have here and then send the user to a particular page. How can I just read the first 5 digits of the zip code field and then compare it with a table in the DB and construct a query? I'm not sure if I'm clear enough.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
