You need ListFind(mylist, mynumber). ListFind looks for a string within the
list, ListContains looks for a substring.

Subject: contained in a list


I need know if a number is one of a list item.

let me explain

let's say.. mynumber = 2 ans mylist = 2,67,34,52


I thought this would do ..
<cfif #listcontains(mylist, mynumber)# is 0>
...
<cfelse>
...
</cfif>

but it does not act like I want ... It compare the same whay as of strings
and will find 2 and 52

What I want to do is to get the exact item in the list


Someone has an idea on how to do it?

Thanks
