Try:<br /><cfscript><br />myString="one,two,,,five,six,,,,ten;eleven";<br />myArray=myString.split("[,;]+");<br /></cfscript><br />Great, huh?

A string method is not documented but very usefull to split (explode,convert to array) a list or we shoudld say a string. <br /><br />There is a simple example that could prvent you to long time searches<br /><cfscript><br />myString="one,two,,,five,six,,,,ten";<br />myArray=myString.split(",");<br /></cfscript><br /><br />Dump the result then you will have a surprise.<br />I did not tested it with coldfusion 6 but it certainly depend of the JRE. It works with Coldfusion 7 and 8. e.esquivel 0 0 2007-08-03T01:10:31
