Re: HowTo Convert a String to an Array?
You could try the .split method. Assuming here that the string is in a variable, just use variableName.split() - assuming that is the deliimiter you want to use. Since this uses the .split java method, you can use multiple characters as a delimiter. You can also use a CFLib function which you may find easier to use: http://cflib.org/udf/splitMX hth, larry Given the following string in Coldfusion: ul[0][id]=main1 ul[0][children][0][id]=child2 ul[0][children][0][class]= ul[1][id]=main3 ul[2][id]=main4 ul[3][id]=main5 I'm looking for help understanding how to use the string above to create an array, which will then allow be to later build out the following: UL LI id=main1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur UL LI id=child2 In hac habitasse platea dictumst.
