OK, me==dah, the first 2 examples I just need to increment by 2 (or any
other factor) other than 1. This is what happens without enough coffee.
My actual code in use was like the 3rd example, but it is nested inside
other loops. I had to break the inner loop in differing steps/increments.
Something like this....
<cfloop from=1 to="#arrayLen(ary)#" index='x'>
...
<cfloop from="#x#" to='#arrayLen(ary)# index='y'>
....
<cfset x=x+{various value}> <!-- skip this many now --->
Suffice to say, it was easy enough to fix once I modified to a "for"
statement and understood what was going on. Just looking at the code for 2
hours and thinking "THIS SHOULD WORK" was what got me about it all.
I guess in 15 years of CF I've really just never done this or have done by
other means. Just seems perplexing that this particular incarnation would
act differently. I'll add it to the CF quirky list I have in my head.
Thanks everyone for taking a look,
~Byron
