RE: List Delimiter Question
Would it be possible to use a different delimiter? If so then just specify the delimiter in your list functions. Otherwise, you could do a replace function to take out submitted coma's and replace them with something else. Rick -Original Message- From: Craig A.

RE: List Delimiter Question
Yes. You need to use a different character for the list. The List functions in Cold Fusion allow you to use a different character. If I want to make sure I use a character a user won't, I use a double pipe (||) or something else as the delimiter. Look in the CF documentation for the List functions. They will show you the way to change this.

Re: List Delimiter Question
Two ideas as I see it: 1) Change the delimiter to something impossible to replicate in your program, build your list to use a delimiter other than a comma. All the CF functions have a provision to support something different than a comma in their use. 2) (my preferred for your case) Use an array Gregory Harris Web Developer Stirling Bridge Group LLC - Original Message - From: "Craig A.
