ListToArray

Synopsis

ListToArray(list [, delimiters])

Converts a ColdFusion list to a one-dimensional array. An optional delimiter can be specified if the list is delimited with a character other than the comma (the default). Here’s an example that converts a list containing the days of the week to a one-dimensional array: 

<CFSET MyList = "Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday,Sunday">
<CFSET MyArray = ListToArray(MyList)>

<CFLOOP INDEX="Element" FROM="1" TO="#ArrayLen(MyArray)#">
  <CFOUTPUT>Element #Element#: #MyArray[Element]#<BR></CFOUTPUT>
</CFLOOP>
