Problem:
it would be nice to have a toBoolean() function that would return true or false based on the argument.The reson for this is so that you can handle strings as bolleans without having to check them manualy.For example, this will error<cfset varname = ""><cfif varname>true<cfelse>false</cfif>If we could have something like...<cfset varname = ""><cfif toBoolean(varname)>true<cfelse>false</cfif>we would be able to avoid this sort of error
Method:
Result:
cannot convert the value "''" to a boolean
