Kola,
"listcontains( )" and Listcontainsnocase( ) finds occurances of the
substring within the list - It does not match against values in the list.
So for example, if you are looking for "MR" in a list of "MRS,MS,MISS" - it
will return true - because MR is a part of MRS. If you use "listfindnocase"
it examines the elements of the list against the string -
Listfindnocase("MRS,MS,MISS","MR") would return false, because no "element"
of the list matches (even though a substring does).

Subject: Please clarify behaviour of listContainsNoCase
Can someone confirm to me that this is the correct behaviour for
listcontainsNoCase:
<cfscript>
if( listContainsNoCase("MRS,MS,MISS", "mr" , "," )) {
gender = "F";
} else {
gender = "m";
}
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>#gender#</cfoutput>
returns F, if I change the first entry in the list to MZ, M gets
outputted.
I'm assuming this is because MRS contains 'MR' however I thought the
whole point of having a listcontainsNocase function (as opposed to using
contains() ) was that the function would look at each entry as a whole?
Thanks
Kola
