Well, lets draw out your lists, and the problem is obvious. You search in list2 with a delimeter of ";", so your list looks like...
1 yes,2 no,3 maybe If you want more, just ask... Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/07/01 03:10PM >>> I have two lists that I need to compare. List one is a comma delimited list pulled from a record in the database (1,2,3) List two is comma delimited but has two values separated by a semi-colon that is an application variable (1;yes,2;no,3;maybe). The problem I am having is that I want to compare list1 with the first value in list2, if list1 matches list2 I would like to display the second value of list2. This is the code that I have written: <cfloop list="#list1#" index="i"> <cfif listfind(list2,i,";")> <cfset theposition=listfind(list2,i,";")> <cfset element=listgetat(list2,theposition,",")> <cfset description= listgetat(element, "2" , ";")> <cfset description1= listlast(description, ",")> </cfif> </cfloop> This code finds the first element in list1 and list2 and displays the second value in list2 properly and that is all. It is not displaying any of the other values because it cannot find them, even though they are in list1 and the first value in list2. If anyone can help me out with this I would really appreciate it.
