You could use the built in listToArray

myarray = listToArray('homer,marge,bart');

I've been using cf since version 3, and I always remember it being there.
I've always used, helped me immensely.
 It reminds me of ValueList().  I'm not sure how long that's been
 available in CF (seems like it's new to CF6 or CF7), but I've 
 heard people say That was something I always had to code every 
 time, I didn't know that function existed!

I'm pretty sure it's been there since CF 2 if not earlier.

RE: Smallest, coolest function I ever wrote: Struct()

2006-01-05 Thread Munson, Jacob 
It is very handy.  It's one of those 'well duh!' functions that CF has,
that a lot of people don't know about.  I've been using CF since v. 4,
and I just found out about it a few months ago.  :)  But I've never read
any CF books or had any training (aside from conferences), so that might
explain my ignorance of ValueList().

cffunction name=Struct returntype=struct
  cfreturn arguments
/cffunction

Just when I though there was a use for cfscript after all... :-)

newStruct, I believe, is already in cflib to do the same thing. 
newArray as well, I believe.  Now if only these were built-ins, so we
could actually a struct and array literals in CFML, but oh well.

Re: Smallest, coolest function I ever wrote: Struct()

2006-01-04 Thread Brendan Baldwin 
I think it should be a language feature.

Same thing happened with everybody writing a custom tag to do the same
thing they finally did with CFSAVECONTENT.  Just feels too basic to
not be included in the core language somehow.

But it was fun to have the lightbulb go off in my head.  I'd been
doing an iterative solution like that UDF in cflib for a couple months
and then it just kind of hit me how unnecessary that was!

Funny what a morning cup of coffee will do.

That's a nice function Brendan. Good job.

 Here's the actual function in cfscript:
 
 function Struct() { return arguments; }
 
 I posted about its use here:
 http://www.brendanbaldwin.com/post/structfunction/
 
 Basically though, it lets you do this:
 
 customer=Struct(id=1,name=Brendan,occupation=Web-Lackey);
 
 Which does the equivalent of:
 
 customer=StructNew();
 StructInsert(customer,id,1);
 StructInsert(customer,name,Brendan);
 StructInsert(customer,occupation,Web-Lackey);
 
 Pass it on! :-)

convention of allowing the creation of Structs like:

Of course, they could throw in an Array constructor too:
