If you're using MX, you can be a bit sneaky: because the list is an
instance of java.lang.String, you can use the methods of that class on
it, one of which is the split() method. This method will split a string
into an array on a given delimiter (which can be multi-character) and
also includes empty values:
<!--- normal, space delimited string --->
<cfset myString = "this is my space delimited string">
<cfdump var="#myString.split(" ")#">
<!--- string with multi-char delimiter --->
<cfset myString= "thisCDisCDmyCDotherCDdelimitedCDstring">
<cfdump var="#myString.split("CD")#">
<!--- comma delimited, with empty items --->
<cfset myString= "this,is,a,,comma,,,delimited,,string">
<cfdump var="#myString.split(",")#">
