When dates start bugging you and causing you to write a lot of code,
remember that they are just numbers to CF.
<cfloop from="12/31/2001" to="1/31/2002" index="i">
<cfoutput>#dateformat(i, "m/d/yy")# -- #i#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>

Subject: No easy way to loop through a date range?
My wife needed help writing a template so that she could put together a
regular and on-call schedule for work. Pretty simple requiremenets, really,
she just asked me to generate a table that dumped out a range of dates.
Easy-peasy, thinks I, I bet Cold Fusion can do it in 3 lines of code.
Wrong. Not especially difficult, and I worked it out (using CFLOOP, and a
bunch of variables for current day, lastdayofyear(), etc.), but it left me
wondering why <cfloop> didn't allow you to loop through a date object and
increment by days, hours, minutes, whatever?
Thanks
Pete
