    <p>For example, please consider the following code snippet:</p> <p><strong>Scenario 1:</strong></p> <p>The company name I received as a part of SOAP response is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Company&gt;Amazon, Inc &lt;/Company&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Scenario 2:</strong></p> <p>Another company name I received as a part of SOAP response is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Company&gt;Google, Inc &lt;/Company&gt; </code></pre> <p>Basically, from the user end I am inputting some information and based on that I am getting different company names inside the <code>&lt;Company&gt;</code> tag.</p> <p>The following code shows how I am storing the response in XMLResponse variable</p> <pre><code> &lt;cfset XMLResponse = XmlParse( httpResponse.fileContent.Trim() ) /&gt; </code></pre> <p>The following piece of code shows how I am parsing the response and storing the content in a variable:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfset arrCOMPANY = XmlSearch( XMLResponse, "//*[name()='Company']" ) /&gt; </code></pre> <p>So now I have arrCOMPANY = Amazon, Inc is I happen to be in Scenario and Google, Inc otherwise.</p> <p><strong>My Question:</strong></p> <p>I have to insert these data into the database based on the company name and set an integer field to be equal to 1 if the company name is Amazon,Inc and set it to zero otherwise for all other companies.</p> <p>Please let me know if I am following the right path:</p> <p>I am thinking of writing two cfqueries based on the company names and hence I am thinking to place the following condition :</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfif arrCompany eq "Amazon, Inc"&gt; // Here I will write cfquery with an integer field = 1 Or &lt;cfif arrCompany eq "Google, Inc"&gt; // Here I will write cfquery with integer field 0 </code></pre> <p>So, am I doing the right comparision, I am wondering whether the company names that I am comparing with eq sign will be actually compared or not as it contains spaces after first word ( say for example the space between Amazon, and Inc).</p> <p>Please share your experience.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Here is what I did:</p> <p>I have applied trim function on specific element as well. For example:</p> <p>The Value in the CompanyName variable is <code>Amazon, Inc</code></p> <pre><code>&lt;cfset CompanyName = Trim(arrCompany[1])&gt; // adding index 1 because it's a complex structure </code></pre> <p>Here is how I am trying to use cfif condition:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfif CompanyName eq "Amazon, Inc"&gt; &lt;cfset m = 1&gt; &lt;cfelse&gt; &lt;cfset m = 0&gt; &lt;/cfif&gt; &lt;cfoutput&gt;#m#&lt;/cfoutput&gt; </code></pre> <p>Despite doing above, I am getting <code>0</code> as my output. Please let me know if I am comparing wrong.</p>

    1. COYou do not need separate queries just to set a bit flag. What is the issue you are experiencing? If the node contains the *exact* value `Amazon, Inc` it will be considered equal. Is something different happening in your actual code?

    3. COTry an output of the companyName between quotes so that you can see what is the exact trimmed value. <cfoutput>'#companyName#'</cfoutput>. the quotes will help to see if there is any more characters that trim cannot remove.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
