Wouldn't it be pretty straightforward and more legible to just loop over the
list and do a conditional on each loop iteration? Unless you've got a
ridiculously large list it should still perform well enough.
<!--- create list --->
<cfset variables.exampleList = "Boat,Goat,Moat,CherryPie">
<!--- output only the words that contain "oat" --->
<cfloop list="#variables.exampleList#" index="i">
<cfif i contains "oat">#i#</cfif>
</cfloop>
As far as your original question regarding multiple delimiters... cfloop
does accept multiple delimiters, but the implementation is that it looks for
any of those characters... not the characters as a string.
For example, <cfloop list="#myList#" index="i" delimiters=",:">
will look for the comma as a delimiter -or- the colon.
so "Foo,Bar:Baz" would be a 3 element list.
