hey hey hey now. microphone check it, yo. i'm gonna have to strap on my correction boots and do a little stomp-down;
the ONLY reason your example worked is that the delimiters are CASE sensitive. what really happened is that <,>,P, and I all delimited empty string values when in sequence, so those values were not appended to the array. HOWEVER, try changing your myvar to this and watch what happens: <cfset myvar="USE<P><P><I>THESE<P><P><I>DELIMITERS"> then scratch your head and go take so more french classes. *smooches* doomo arigato. brendan avery 2.0 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 310.779.2211 - santa monica, california > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Muck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 07:30 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: split > > > > FYI tom; coldfusion, sadly, can not have multi-character delimiters. > > the > > delimiters field of any of the List functions in ColdFusion > is treated > > as a > > set of single-character delimiters, not as a single > delimiting string. > > so > > "<P><P><I>" is treated as "<>PI" for all intents and > purposes. brent > > Pardon my french, but bullcr** ;-) > > Put this code on a page: > > <cfset myvar = "use<P><P><I>these<P><P><I>delimiters"> > <cfset myarray = listtoarray(myvar,"<P><P><I>")> > <cfoutput> > first: #myarray[1]#<br> > second: #myarray[2]#<br> > third: #myarray[3]#<br> > </cfoutput> > > > tom > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation � $99/Month � Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
