RE: [ cf-dev ] number of items in a list
[snip] It's up to you whether you choose to use these functions or not, which I guess in most cases will come down to if (when) CF7 comes out, it may break things, but are you likely to upgrade the machines you're hosting your already-written apps on? Thanks for all the info, Tim -- very interesting. As tempting as it might be to use undocumented features (CF not enumerating empty list elements is a pet-peeve of mine, so I loved your split() suggestion), I don't think it's entirely beyond the realms of possibility that either (i) a machine would be upgraded or (ii) a new box might be built using CFMX7 and pre-existing apps moved onto it. And to be honest, if I put myself in our employers shoes, I'd take a dim view of a developer who, without consent, used something like that. I feel it's the IT equivalent of leaving an electrical lead trailing across a walkway -- something that might be convenient to you in the short-term, but that introduces an avoidable risk. If it's your own application or business, of course, that's different. -- Aidan Whitehall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental +44 (0)1695 51775 This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.

Re: [ cf-dev ] number of items in a list
The point being that if you want an array, use an array. The whole point of an array is that you want to know that a certain value is at a certain position. Therefore, knowing the length of an array is important. With a list, the length is unimportant. It's just a variable to hold a bunch of values. It's not supposed to be used like an array. It's not supposed to have a useful length value. The fact that it does is neither here nor there. Also, as has been said, if the list value is empty (ie s,,,f) then CF will ignore it. That list only has 2 values in it... because it actually only has 2 values in it. If it was an array, it would have 5 positions to store values and would have a lenght of 5. Am I making any sense? It's programming constructs! I do think it would have been appropriate to make CF lists similar to arrays, but then all a list would have been was a string based array. Think about it for a moment though, if CF had originally had a NULL in it, then a list with empty values would have made sense. However, because there is no such thing as an empty value in CF (it's always an empty string) then if you parsed in a list with empty strings in it, and you were expecting (say) a bunch of numbers, what *should* CF do with it? It has no NULL and an empty string is incorrect... should it be 0 or what? Anyway, I've rabbitted enough now! I think I'm quite tired...

RE: [ cf-dev ] number of items in a list
list.split(,) am I missing something, where did this come from? That's a since MX thing -- because all basic types in CF are treated (at least initially) as Java strings, you can use functions from the java.lang.String class [1], which includes a function to tokenise a string into an array given a certain token (in this case a comma). In this case, the split() method [2] can actually perform the split on more than a single character -- it takes a regular expression as the delimiter. It also acts differently as the CF list functions in that is *doesn't* ignore empty items. You can use other methods the String class to good effect too: I've used functions like charAt(), compareTo(), startsWith(), endsWith() and matches().

I'd hate to start using Java methods directly on CF variables (I assume that's what you're doing) only to find that in some future version the code fails to run because of some modification MM make. Well, of course this behaviour is under the hood and unsupported stuff which you probably won't find in any offical CF docs, much in the same wasy as using the service factory methods. While we're on the subject, another good one I've found is the handy isLast() function that you can call on queries. Take, for example, you want to print a comma-delimited list of items in a particular query column (and before anyone says it, yes you can use valueList() -- this is just an exmaple!). You need to output a value, followed by a comma each time apart from the last value. In regular CF, you'd can either do your query, set up a counter, then loop through all the results, incrementing the counter and comparing it to myQuery.recordcount to see if you've got to the end. The slightly better way is to remove the counter and use myQuery.currentrow instead. Alternatively, you can ignore any comparison of values as in the previous two example, and simply do a boolean check on myQuery.isLast() which will return TRUE if the current row is the last. Hidden methods are great. :) It's up to you whether you choose to use these functions or not, which I guess in most cases will come down to if (when) CF7 comes out, it may break things, but are you likely to upgrade the machines you're hosting your already-written apps on?
