Dip into Java first maybe then back to CF?
<cfset str = "abcdefg">
<cfset arr = str.split("")>
<cfdump var="#arr#">
<!--- <cfset ArrayDeleteAt(arr, 1)> --->
<cfset str = ArrayToList(arr, ",")>
<cfdump var="#str#">
Note the the first element in the array is an empty string. I thought
ArrayDeleteAt() would take care of that but it throws an error.
I'd be interested to see if you find nice one or two line answer to this.
