ReFindNoCase() question 1

[FALCONSEYE]

I have a string which has [something]|Somehere ....
i want to get the value between [ and ] which is something. so, i tried using

<cfset kPos = RefindNoCase("[",myString,1)>
<cfset k2Pos = REFindNoCase("]",myString,kPos+1)>

to get the positions of the [ and ]. however the above code throws an error


Malformed regular expression "[".
Reason: Unmatched [] in expression..

how can i accomplish this? thanks

<cfset kPos = RefindNoCase("\[",myString,1)>
<cfset k2Pos = REFindNoCase("\]",myString,kPos+1)>

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.

i used this one instead thanks
RefindNoCase("[]|]",myObj1,1)>

you really only want to use reFindNoCase if you're looking for a pattern (regex)

var1 = find("[", myObj1)
var2 = find("]", myObj1,var1)
