|
Parameter |
Description |
list |
A list or a variable that contains one. |
|
You define a list variable with a cfset statement. |
delimiters |
A string or a variable that contains one. ColdFusion treats each character in the |
|
string as a delimiter. Default: comma. |
|
|
Usage
|
ColdFusion ignores empty list elements; thus, the list "a,b,c,,,d" has four elements.
|
ColdFusion treats each character in the delimiters attribute as a separate delimiter. Therefore, if the attribute is ",+" ColdFusion will break the list at either a comma plus sign.
