re: list from array occurences
listVar = left(repeatString(VarChar,, arrayLen(arrayVar)), ((8 * arrayLen(arrayVar)) - 1)); that just creates a list of VarChar,VarChar,VarChar, based on the arrayLen() and then removes the final ,. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: list from array occurences
is there a function to do this in a line of code Try this: MyList = RepeatString(,VarChar, arrayLen(MyArray)) The comma at the begining will be considered as an empty element which is ignored by CF. However, if you rather have a clean list, use this: MyList = mid(RepeatString(,VarChar, arrayLen(MyArray)) , 2, ) ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: list from array occurences
does it have to be just one line? you can loop for the array length and do a list append... cfset myList = / cfloop from=1 to=#arrayLen(myArray)# index=idx cfset myList = listAppend(myList, 'VarChar') / /cfloop On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 9:27 AM, Richard White rich...@j7is.co.uk wrote: hi we need to create a list of the string VarChar i.e. VarChar,VarChar,VarChar the amount of list elements is totally dependant on the length of another array which could change. e.g. if theArray length is 3 then the list would be VarChar,VarChar,VarChar else if theArray length is 5 then the list would be VarChar,VarChar,VarChar,VarChar,VarChar etc... is there a function to do this in a line of code thanks ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: list from array occurences
thanks for the replies, this works perfectly listVar = left(repeatString(VarChar,, arrayLen(arrayVar)), ((8 * arrayLen(arrayVar)) - 1)); that just creates a list of VarChar,VarChar,VarChar, based on the arrayLen() and then removes the final ,. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: list from array occurences
Everyone had interesting solutions, but I wonder why you just wouldn't use ArrayTolist() cf-talk@houseoffusion.com on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 at 9:27 AM -0700 wrote: hi we need to create a list of the string VarChar i.e. VarChar,VarChar,VarChar the amount of list elements is totally dependant on the length of another array which could change. e.g. if theArray length is 3 then the list would be VarChar,VarChar,VarChar else if theArray length is 5 then the list would be VarChar,VarChar,VarChar,VarChar,VarChar etc... is there a function to do this in a line of code thanks ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Good call, Barney ... forgot all about the removeChars() function ... haven't used that one in years. Good reminder! ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: list from array occurences
Randi - Based on how I read the question, the existing array and desired list had nothing in common, other than the length of elements.

he's not looking for the array element values ... he wants the actual string 'VarChar' once for each element. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Yet another solution, assuming that the array length is at least 1: MyList = VarChar RepeatString(,VarChar, arrayLen(MyArray) - 1) ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
