Thanks! I've now put the all the entries in a loop - entryArray (not shown below). The problem i've come across is how to check accurately whether my random number is contained within my winnerArray. I have indented the line i'm talking about with 5*. Any help I'd be grateful.
Thanks, <!--- create array for winners ---> <cfset arrayWinners = ArrayNew(1)> <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ShowCompetitions.prizeCount#"> <cfset RandomWinner = RandRange(1, FindEntries.RecordCount)> *****<cfif arrayWinners neq contains RandomWinner> <cfset arrayEntries[i]="#FindEntries.EntryID[i]#"> <cfelse> <cfabort> </cfif> </cfloop> ---------------------------------------- From: "Adkins, Randy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 11:45 AM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Random Numbers Not sure of what all you are trying to do, but something like this should work (not tested though) -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Kidd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 11:32 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Random Numbers Hi guys, I'm trying to write an app which will choose three random numbers for a competition based on how many etnries there are. I'm having problems trying to work out a way not to choose the same number twice, is there a way to do that which will fit into my CFLOOP structure? Or is there a better way to do it? INSERT INTO tbl_020competitionWinners (competitionID, entryID) VALUES ('#FindEntries.competitionID[i]#', '#ShowCompetitions.competitionID[i]#') Thanks, Saturday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
