The word bug, as already mentioned elsewhere is thrown around too greatly to describe too many problems. I have heard all levels of users utilize the word to describe anything that isn't the way they want it right now. Everything from query sorting to simple static text changes. As a programmer, the word 'bug' gets my attention, and I have become less inclined to react quickly now that the word is abused. The word should mean 'error in results'. The program runs but gives the incorrect data. If the page breaks, it is 'broken'. If the text doesn't sound right, it is a 'change request'. If the user wants the program to do more, it is an 'update' or an 'upgrade'.
The arraytolist function is old enough to be set in stone as to how it reacts to the delimiters. However, if you wanted to request an upgrade, I wouldn't be adverse to Adobe adding a new parameter like was mentioned here by someone else, which indicates the entire string as a single 'match', but the default should and must be the way the function is now. Calling it a bug doesn't make it a bug. There is an easy work around in order to get the functionality that you desire by nesting the replace function inside the arraylist function. We are programmers who constantly have to translate data received into what we need in order to work with it and then export it back to what the receiver wanted. This is what we do and we have the perfect tool for doing it. There isn't much that ColdFusion can't do that we may want it to do. If you can't figure out what you need to have done, done, that is what this board is for; finding help to the questions you have. Which is exactly what the original poster did, and they got the perfect response, an answer to their question that works. I have fallen in love with the idea that I can create a UDF and do ANYTHING that I want in coldfusion. Recently I have talked some of the developers that I am consulting with into creating a centralized email function using a CFC. The simple reason is that they found a flaw in their previous method which required them to go to every cfmail tag and make a change in it. Loving CF, William >Point taken, but it is a bug as far as I am concerned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:306916 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
