Hmmm,
Dave, if this is the case (which I don't doubt), then why will this work:
<cfset first_list="apple,banana,pomegranite,kiwi fruit,ocelot"><!--- comma
delimiter --->
<cfoutput>#first_list#</cfoutput><br>
<cfset new_list = listchangedelims(first_list, ", ")><!--- comma space
delimter --->
<cfoutput>#new_list#</cfoutput>
Granted if you perform a listgetat on the new_list with delims as ", " eg:
<cfset kiwivar = listgetat(new_list, 4, ", ")>
it will only pick up 'kiwi' and not 'kiwi fruit' as it uses the space as an
optional delimiter rather than space comma, but isn't it odd that the change
delims works?
