Please, someone explain to me why this was necessary. The first line of code is just a sample setup. The real code has a loop over some orders, assembles this string, and adds the word “NewOrder” at the end of it. It then executes line #2 with the revers, replace, and reverse. This is the part I’m not sure I get. I run it, and see that the word NewOrder is just removed. So why all the crazy reverses and such?? No idea.

<cfset OrderDetailStringM = "1,5,SplitHere,10,600,NewOrder5,85,684" />
<cfset OrderDetailStringM = reverse(replace(reverse(OrderDetailStringM),"redrOweN",""))>

<cfdump var="#OrderDetailStringM#" />

Uh…
