Cfmail to certain addresses depending on form data
I have a form I need to send via cfmail to certain addresses depending on the first letter of the last name on the form being submitted. I am a new to coldfusion in need of some help. not sure how to go about it. I have some code, but as I said I am new to coldfusion and was tasked with this project. I don't expect someone to do it for me, I just would appreciate some help of any kind.
I am limited to Coldfusion 5 also.
Code:
<cfif Left(form.LAST_NAME, A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H)>
<CFMAIL TO="person1@bob.org"
FROM="#form.EMAIL#"
etc...
</CFMAIL>
<cfelseif Left(form.LAST_NAME, I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P)>
<CFMAIL TO="person2@bob.org"
FROM="#form.EMAIL#"
etc...
</CFMAIL>
<cfelseif Left(form.LAST_NAME, Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z) >
<CFMAIL TO="person3@bob.org"
FROM="#form.EMAIL#"
etc...
</CFMAIL>
<cfelse>
<CFMAIL TO="person4@bob.org"
FROM="#form.EMAIL#"
etc...
</CFMAIL>
</cfif>
Please Help! Thanks in advance.

The first thing you'll want to do is check the docs, because that's not how the Left() function works.
First I would simplify this with a basic regular expression, something like:
Code:
<cfif REFindNoCase("[a-h]", form.last_name)>...
Second, you can avoid having to duplicate the entire cfmail tag by using a variable for the email address. So something like:
Code:
<!--- Default email --->
<cfset email = "person4@bob.org" />
<cfif REFindNoCase("[a-h]", form.last_name)>...
<cfset email = "person1@bob.org" />
<cfelseif REFindNoCase("[i-p]", form.last_name)>
<cfset email = "person2@bob.org" />
<cfelseif REFindNoCase("[q-z]", form.last_name)>
<cfset email = "person3@bob.org" />
</cfif>
<cfmail to="#email#".....>
Hope that helps.
