Remember that when picking a delimiter, any character is fair game, you can be pretty much assured that something like the BEL character (CHR(7)) or something equally as unprintable isn't going to apear in your list, and if you're paranoid just do a check before using the list and pick another delimiter if it is in use.

Subject: CFLOOP problem with commas
I am trying to CFLOOP through a collection of URLs. The problem comes from
the fact that there are commas in some of the URLs. To illustrate the
problem, my code is as follows:
http://www.foobar.com/selector/en/prodselect.asp?Xcntry=USA&Xlang=en_US
&error=novars">
http://www.foobar.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=x_main_en,Company=
{7C4ED4E1-1DE9-46A0-BC3E-BE1C2FA9E9C9},varset=Xlang:en_US,varset=Xcntry:
USA,varset=prodID:DC220DC">
#ListofUrls#
THIS OUTPUTS THE FOLLOWING:
http://www.foobar.com/selector/en/prodselect.asp?Xcntry=USA&Xlang=en_US&;
error=novars
http://www.foobar.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New
Kb=x_main_en
Company={7C4ED4E1-1DE9-46A0-BC3E-BE1C2FA9E9C9}
varset=Xlang:en_US
varset=Xcntry:USA
varset=prodID:DC220DC
As you can see, the first URL outputs normally, but the second URL breaks at
every comma. Is there a way around this? I don't want to insert Chr() codes
if I can help it!

RE: CFLOOP problem with commas
Thanks for the help. Ray came through for me for the second time today. Since I *KNOW* that I am looping through URLs, then I *KNOW* that a space is a valid delimiter. I plugged it in and it worked perfectly. Now I can go home on time. Thanks, Ray! __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: CFLOOP problem with commas
How about URLEncodedFormat in, URLDecode out? That way, you can keep your
comma as the delimiter.

Delimeters that are more than 1 (or 2?) characters don't always work in my

Re: CFLOOP problem with commas
Personally, I tend to almost always avoid commas. They're really only any good for delimiting lists of integers. Otherwise there'll be trouble sooner or later. I use #RS# which I've defined as Chr(30) earlier with the rest of the constants I define. Once you get used to it, it's much safer. - Original Message - From: "Raymond Camden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 8:30 AM Subject: RE: CFLOOP problem with commas > >As you can see, the first URL outputs normally, but the second URL > >breaks at every comma.

RE: CFLOOP problem with commas
If you pass N delimiters, CF will treat each one line a different
delimiter.
Now - I _swear_ I remember writing a REListGet UDF which would allow you
to pass a regex (with multiple characters of course) and perform a
listgetAt, but I can't seem to fnd it now. Ah - yes, there it is -
RESplit (http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=424). Not the exact same, but
close enough. ;)

RE: CFLOOP problem with commas
Tim,
I'd just use a different delimeter that cannot exist in a URL - like a
space:
#ListofUrls#
I think I'd scrub the URL first to make sure there is not a space in it.
Maybe URLEncode( ) it.
