Strange problem with datatypes?
Sorry if the title is a bit vague. Don't know how else to describe this. For reference, this is CF5.
To make a long story short, this bit of code actually outputs "true". Code:
<cfif "00D96" EQ "00D40"> true <cfelse> false </cfif> On further investigation, it appears that "00D<number>" will equal any other "00D<number>" I've searched but nothing has come up. What's going on here? Is ColdFusion getting its datatypes confused? Does CF have typecasting?

It could easily be some kind of type casting error in CF 5. That version is something like five years old. The code runs correctly on CFMX 6, 6.1, and 7.0.

Yeah. I had a friend test it on 6.1 as well.
Unfortunatly, I don't have a choice as to which version I'm using. You're probably right that it's a type casting issue. Cursed CF for being a loosely typed language. edit: It works properly when I use the compare() function. Looks like that's my solution.

CF's loose typing is actually a huge speed booster in most cases. And again, the problem doesn't affect any recent version. The type casting has improved greatly since the switch to Java.
