RE: List ? in a CFIF

[Bill Grover]

I beg to differ on a point.  ListFind returns the index of the item found, not True/False.    So ListFind("Blue,Black","Blue") = 1 but ListFind("Blue,Black","Black") = 2.  If you try to find something that isn't in the list the return value is zero, so ListFind("Blue,Black","Red") = 0


It is just the nature of CF that a value of any value other than zero is true and zero is false, which can be used to great advantage.

Mike,

the thing that might confuse you is the fact there is only a function listed
in the cfif statement

The function either returns TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the value
"phone" is found in the list, so in short it would be

<CFIF listfindnocase(validation_error, "phone")>

If you want to type it all out, which saves time typing but is quicker to
evaluate, you'd have

<CFIF listfindnocase(validation_error, "phone") EQ true>

Which might make more sense to you.

Hi Raymond,

Can you explain how to use it.  I see examples on the web like this <CFIF
listfindnocase(validation_error, "phone")>  I just don't understand the
first argument in that example validation_error  sorry for my newbieness

  Sure, use listFind or ListFindNoCase.
