here , you can try this
<cfset list1="1,1,3,1,3,1,4,5">
<cfset list2="">
<cfloop list=#list1# index="val">
<cfif listfind(list2,val,",") eq 0>
<cfset list2=listappend(list2,val,",")>
</cfloop>
list 2 contains your non repetitive items.
you may write a custom tag for this
usage
<cf_parselist var="da_list" list="#list1#">
code for this tag (parselist.cfm)
<cfset list1=attributes.list>
<cfset list2="">
<cfloop list=#list1# index="val">
<cfif listfind(list2,val,",") eq 0>
<cfset list2=listappend(list2,val,",")>
</cfloop>
<cfset "caller.#attributes.var#" = list2>
you may use the variable you sent to custom tag in your templates.

Subject: How to limit multiple instances of data to only one in a list
Hey,
Thanks for all the great info in this list.
I'm trying to create a list with one entry per item from a list of multiple
entries per item.
What do I need to do to take this multiple instance list and create
a list with just one instance of each item.
All help is very appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Wilson
