Well, I suppose you don't have to define the list if you don't want to.

<cfif ListFind(ValueList(query.colum),value)>Do Something Here If test
value Exists</cfif>

Subject: Searching with ListFind

I have a query that will return one column perhaps with 3 or four rows. 

I want to check the column for the existence of a specific test value.

I do NOT want to loop over the query checking each value to see if it
matches the test value because I need to do this on every row output
from another query... perhaps as many as 300 rows.

----------------------
I think I want to use:

<cfif ListFind(list, value [, delimiters ])>Do Something Here If test
value Exists</cfif> 

However... How do I specify the list in the above function?  Doesn't a
query have some predefined list I can use?


Or am I forced to first define the list like this?

<cfset theList = ValueList(query.column [, delimiter ])>


Thanks,
Brian
