You'll likely need a regex. You should add that topic to the question tags to attract attention from the right experts. (I'm <i>not</i> a regex guru so I'll leave this to someone more qualified :)

May as well search for 7 digits exactly instead of *any* number of digits.<br />
<br />
And if you go with a cffunction, don't forget to VAR scope all those variables... or you can end up creating weird threading bugs in some cases.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
Can someone help me create the following CF Function?<br />
<br />
We receive payments from clients but the client number can be anywhere in the description.<br />
The naming convention of the client number is: yyyynnn where yyyy is the year and nnn is a sequence number between 001 and 999. The year can be between 1960 and the current year. There may be other numbers in the description but the client number should be returned only when the above criteria is met.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

Specific String search Coldfusion

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.
