This will either return 0 if the string isn't found or the array position in
which it was found
<cfscript>
function searchArray(arr,str)
{
var retVal = 0;
for(i=1; i lte arraylen(arr); i=i+1)
{
if (arr[i] is str)
{
retVal = i;
break;
}
}
return retVal;
}
</cfscript>
Just use it like....
#searchArray(myArray,'XYZ')#
..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Subject: How to select an entry from an array
Hi all,
i want to send data with a post form. In the next step i want to check which
entry of an array includes the selected data.
For example:
In the form the user selected the 2nd entry which includes XYZ in an
dropdown (select) field and submit the form.
How can i check which entry of the array myarraytest[] includes the data
XYZ.
Thank you & best regards
nic.
