It looks to see what length the list is, i.e. how many items are in your
list. The first parameter is your list variable. The second (optional)
parameter is the list delimiter. So for instance you could say
<cfset fubar = "how now brown cow">
<cfset wordCount = ListLen(fubar, " ")>
Which will give you a count of how many words there are in the sentence,
assuming the space character is the 'delimiter'.
So in the example I gave, if there aren't exactly 3 elements in this list,
assuming delimiter is "/", it fails. So both these would fail:
10.10.10
10/05
IF NOT ListLen(yourdatefield, "/") EQ 3
// isn't in the format: blah/blah/blah
hey that's not a valid date

Ok Duncan it works great. Now I thought that this looked at poistion 3 and
compared it to /
It obviously doesn't because it works for both delimeters which is great.
So can you explain this little code snippet please - How is it doing what
it
does?
