Maybe the "*" character is throwing it off. Sorry, I might have given you a
bad example.
This is some code I have that works. I set up an array and then convert it
to a list...
<cfset stuff_list = #arraytolist(stuff_new,"||Q||")#>
I can then pick items from that list, using a #location# index.
<cfset stuff1 = #listGetAt(stuff_list,location + 1,"||Q||")#>
<cfset stuff2 = #listGetAt(stuff_list,location + 2,"||Q||")#>
<cfset stuff3 = #listGetAt(stuff_list,location + 3,"||Q||")#>
<cfset stuff4 = #listGetAt(stuff_list,location + 4,"||Q||")#>

Subject: RE: List w/" " delims
I've tried to user multiple characters as a list delimiter, but whenever I
then try to iterate through the list, specifying my delimiter, it doesn't
work. E.g., When I have the following code,
<CFSET myList = "o|ne |*| t*wo |*| th|*ree">
<CFLOOP Index="listElement" List="#myList#" Delimiters="|*|">
<CFOUTPUT>
#listElement#<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFLOOP>
I get:
o
ne
t
wo
th
ree
because it takes each item in the list of delimiters and checks for them
individually. Has anyone any insight on how to loop through something with
a particular combination of characters for a delimiter?
Any help would be appreciated,
Robyn

You CAN use multiple characters as list delimiters...eg. "|*|".
I do it frequently to cut down on the chances that one of my list items
contains a delimiter.

Keep in mind that list delimiters can only be 1 character.
