I scanned through the online CF help and it appears that all of the List functions, including ListAppend(), accept multiple single-character delimiters, so passing "mystring" means to consider "m" or "y" or "s", etc., as delimiters. As a query function, ValueList() appears to be different and actually accepts a single delimiter, which can be a single character or a string.

If I do this: <cfscript> MyList=""; MyList=ListAppend(MyList, "Hello There", "mystring"); MyList=ListAppend(MyList, "Good Afternoon", "mystring"); </cfscript> MyList is equal to: Hello TheremGood Afternoon But if I do this: <cfscript> MyList=ValueList(queryName.ColumnName, "mystring"); </cfscript> then MyList is then equal to: Hello TheremystringGood Afternoon Why do the List functions behave differently? Is there any rules or such to go by when using delimiters? Tyler Silcox email | [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTW: I'm not trying to use "mystring" as a delimiter, I just want to use ", " (comma space) as a delimiter to output the list to the browser. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Kime" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 3:21 PM Subject: RE: list delimiters>>> Is this what you are looking for? If you already have a list, you can change the delimiter like so....

Sometimes you can use a string as a delimiter, #ValueList()#, and other times it will only allow you to use/accept the first character, such as #ListAppend()#. Any idears?
