GetToken
Synopsis
GetToken(string, index
[,delimiters
])
Returns the token from string
occupying
the specified index
position. An optional
set of delimiters
may be specified. If no
delimiters
are specified, ColdFusion uses
the default of spaces, tabs, and newline characters. If
index
is greater than the total number of
tokens in string
, GetToken(
)
returns an empty string. GetToken( )
is similar in function to the ListGetAt( )
function but is more versatile because it uses multiple sets of
delimiters
. Note that the
GetToken( )
function currently treats successive
instances of the same delimiter as a single delimiter.
Here’s an example of this function:
<cfset MyString="999-99-9999"> <cfoutput> <b>String:</b> #MyString# <p>GetToken(MyString, 3, "-"): #GetToken(MyString, 3, "-")# </cfoutput>
