This should do the trick.
<cfscript>
function arrayFind(arr,str)
{
for(i=1; i lte arraylen(arr); i=i+i)
{
if (not comparenocase(arr[i], str))
{ return i; }
}
return 0;
}
</cfscript>
Just use it like...
#arrayFind(arrayToSearch, StringToSearchFor)#
On Another not... If you use indexOf() like James suggested, there are a
couple of issues to worry about...
1) it's case sensitive like he said but he doesn't meant you have to type it
as indexOf... he means 'myvalue' is not the same as 'MYVALUE' when searching
with indexOf()
2) you'll need to add 1 to any result before using that index in CF since
Java arrays/lists start at 0 and CF arrays/lists start at 1

Subject: Re: Push values into an array -> Search on array
As CF arrays are java lists:
<cfset myindex = imageinformation.indexOf(priority)>
This is of course an undocumented feature that could break in the future -
use at your own risk. It's also case-sensitive.
