Adrian,
I would really use either a Structure or Array for this - its really the
ideal application for these more complex data types.
Here's how you could use a Structure:
<cfset Cities = StructNew()>
<cfset Cities = StructInsert(Cities, "Atlanta", AtlantaList)>
<cfset Cities = StructInsert(Cities, "Dallas", DallasList)>
A specific city's list is available by referencing:
Cities["Atlanta"] or Cities["Dallas"]
<cfoutput>
Atlanta - #Cities["Atlanta"]#<br>
Dallas - #Cities["Dallas"]#<br>
</cfoutput>
<CFLOOP COLLECTION=#Cities# ITEM="TheCity">
<!---
This loop will loop over all of the city names you have set up as structure
keys;
within this loop each city specific list is available by referencing:
Cities[TheCity]
--->
<cfoutput>
#TheCity# - #Cities[TheCity]#<br>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
I didn't test this - so buyer beware!
