This kind of data could be split into multiple structures, each stored
as an element in an array. It's a bit more elegant than a struct of
lists. Quick example:
<!--- Build an array to hold issues --->
<cfset aIssues = arrayNew(1)>
<!--- Build a sample issue --->
<cfset aIssues[1] = structNew()>
<cfset aIssues[1].title="issue1">
<!--- Using createDate() would be more proper, but this is simpler --->
<cfset aIssues[1].date="01/01/2001">
<cfset aIssues[1].title="article1">
<!--- Build a sample issue --->
<cfset aIssues[2] = structNew()>
<cfset aIssues[2].title="issue2">
<!--- Using createDate() would be more proper, but this is simpler --->
<cfset aIssues[2].date="01/02/2001">
<cfset aIssues[2].title="article2">
<!--- Build a sample issue --->
<cfset aIssues[3] = structNew()>
<cfset aIssues[3].title="issue3">
<!--- Using createDate() would be more proper, but this is simpler --->
<cfset aIssues[3].date="01/03/2001">
<cfset aIssues[3].title="article3">
<!--- Output --->
<table>
<!--- Loop over the array of issues --->
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(aIssues)#" index="i">
<tr>
<!--- Loop over each part of an issue structure --->
<cfloop list="#structKeyList(aIssues[1])#" item="j">
<td>#aIssues[i][j]#</td>
</cfloop>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</table>
Have a good one,
Joe

well it does just what it says : )
Just break one of the listgetat() functions down.....
ListGetAt(item1, 1)
is the same as
ListGetAt("cass1,cass2,cass3", 1)
the list "cass1,cass2,cass3" has three items in it
cass1
cass2
cass3
each item's position in a list is represented by a number form left to
right starting with 1.... in this specific case...
case1 would be at position 1,
case2 would be at position 2
case3 would be at position 3
so.... with the above functions...
ListGetAt(item1, 1)
and
ListGetAt("cass1,cass2,cass3", 1)
both of these would return case1 since it is at position 1 of thie list
I hope that doesnt confuse you even more

Now we're talking... thanks Ewok... I want to understand this
though...
I understand the cfsets are setting up lists, but get slightly
confused
on the rest... if I can, I'd like to take that one step at a time:
I know this is setting up a loop that loops as many times as there's
elements in "item1"
<cfloop from="1" to="#ListLen(item1)#" index="i">
But this I don't understand:
#ListGetAt(item1, i)#&
Listgetat by defintion returns a specific element in a list at a
specified position.... but can you clarify what that piece of code
does

so you're just having problems with formatting the output?
<cfset item1 = "cass1,cass2,cass3">
<cfset item2 = "6/9/04,8/9/04,7/9/04">
<cfset item3 = "issue1,issue2,issue3">
<cfoutput>
<table>
<cfloop from="1" to="#ListLen(item1)#" index="i">
<tr>
<td valign="top">#ListGetAt(item1, i)# </td>
<td valign="top">#ListGetAt(item2, i)# </td>
<td valign="top">#ListGetAt(item3, i)#</td>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</table>
</cfoutput>

Thanks Erick... I got that to work and looked up and understand the
replace function now but I guess my follow-on questions are these:
My 3 key stucture basic output is this:
cass1,cass2,cass3
6/9/04,8/9/04,7/9/04
issue1,issue2,issue3
which is based on the following processing template receiving input
from
a form:
<cfset me = structNew()>
<cfset me.mytitle = "#form.title#">
<cfset me.mydate1 = "#form.date1#">
<cfset me.myissue = "#form.issue#">
<table border="1">
<cfoutput>
<tr><td>#me.mytitle#</td></tr>
<tr><td>#me.mydate1#</td></tr>
<tr><td>#me.myissue#</td></tr>
</cfoutput>
</table>
I still don't understand how to manipulate these comma delimited
strings
or space delimited strings into a viewer friendly format?
And I hate to sound like an idiot, but what does replacing the
commas
with spaces do for outputting the data anyway ... I'm missing
something
here
