To summarise, Coldfusion does the explode thing with a 'list' syntax and you can do a lot with it. You don't need to convert the string into an array if you use the functions Coldfusion gives you (although using an array can be better for performance if that is a concern).
Livedocs has an index of List functions here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/functi13.htm#wp1099435 Some examples: <cfset stringList = "a,b,c|f,g,h"> <cfloop list="#stringList#" index="listItem" delimeter=","> <cfoutput>#listItem# - </cfoutput> </cfloop> <cfoutput> #ListLast(stringList)# #ListGetAt(stringList, 2, '|')# </cfoutput> Hope that helps and good luck!
