Well it is already a common list and there are a number of list functions
readily available in CF as well as a "list" type available in cfloop. There
is also listtoArray() which is what you are looking for in this case.
Just give it the list variable and delimiter (default delimiter is a comma
so just give it the list variable in your case)
<cfset category = "one,two,three" />
<cfset myNewArray = listToArray(category) />
<cfloop from="1" to="#arraylen(myNewArray)#" index="i">
#myNewArray[i]#<br />
</cfloop>
You can also just write your own explode() function if that makes you feel
better ;-)
<cfscript>
function explode(theList) {
return listtoArray(theList);
}
</cfscript>
<cfset category = "one,two,three" />
<cfdump var="#explode(category)#" />
You would need to expand on that function to accommodate delimiters other
than the default comma.

Subject: Explode a string to single values
Hi,
i´m a CF newbie and i have a question:
I want to explode a variable into the single values. For example:
<cfset category="one,two,three">
I want to known the single values, seperated by "," and want to place them
in an array.
I know the PHP function explode(). Is there a similar function in CF?
Thanks a lot & with best regards.
Nic.
