rather than "1-14". Here's some code that'll do what you want (using your
list):
<!--- supplied list --->
<cfset var1 = "1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12,13,14,20,25,30,31,32,33,50" />
<!--- compute the 'ranged' list --->
<cfset last = "" />
<cfset array = listToArray(var1) />
<cfset result = "" />
<cfset startedRange = false />
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(array)#" index="i">
<cfif last EQ array[i] - 1>
<cfset startedRange = true />
<cfelse>
<cfif startedRange>
<cfset result = listAppend(result, array[i - 1],
"-") />
<cfset startedRange = false />
</cfif>
</cfif>
<cfif NOT startedRange>
<cfset result = listAppend(result, array[i]) />
</cfif>
<cfset last = array[i] />
</cfloop>
<!--- output --->
<cfoutput>
<pre>
initial : #var1#
desired : 1-6,10-14,20,25,30-33,50
computed: #result#
</pre>
</cfoutput>
