RE: contained in a list
Correct me if I'm wrong here people, but I believe that if the
list contains actual numbers (like from a numeric data field)
then this list function will work correctly, but if it's a text
string it won't.
It's been a while since I checked on this.
ListContains looks to see if any entries in the list CONTAINS the item
you're looking for
Therefore;
ListContains("1,2,4,5,13,18,23,30","3") will product a number,
ListFind("1,2,4,5,13,18,23,30","3") won't.
CF doesn't treat numbers different from string when you're running a
non-numeric function on them.

RE: contained in a list
If I understand you - you would like to see if a value is in a list - right ? cfset myNbrToFind = "2" cfset myListToSearch = "2,3,4,5,6,52" cfif ListFind(myListToSearch,myNbrToFind, ",") !--- do something cool if I find it ... and return the element position--- cfelse !--- do nothing because it was not in my list --- /cfif would work for you.

RE: contained in a list
You need ListFind(mylist, mynumber). ListFind looks for a string within the list, ListContains looks for a substring.

RE: contained in a list
You need to append commas before and after mynumber, that way you are looking for ",2," not just "2". You might be able to do this within the cfif like this: cfif #listcontains(mylist, ","mynumber",")# is 0 but you will probably have to create another variable: cfset mynumfind=","mynumber"," and then use mynumfind in place of mynumber in the cfif statement. Also you will have to deal with the first and last numbers of the list since they are not surrounded by commas. The simplest way (if it won't screw up the list) would be to have the list start and end with a comma. There may be a more elegant way to do this using sql. -Original Message- From: Gilles Ratte [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2000 10:52 AM To: 'cftalk' Subject: contained in a list I need know if a number is one of a list item. let me explain let's say.. mynumber = 2 ans mylist = 2,67,34,52 I thought this would do .. cfif #listcontains(mylist, mynumber)# is 0 .. cfelse .. /cfif but it does not act like I want ...
