Parameters

Parameter

Description

includeEmptyValues

Optional. Set to yes to include empty values.

list

A list or a variable that contains one.

substring

A string or a variable that contains one. The search is case-insensitive.

delimiters

A string or a variable that contains one. Characters that separate list elements. The default value is comma.

If this parameter contains more than one character, ColdFusion processes each occurrence of each character as a delimiter.

Usage

ColdFusion ignores empty list elements; thus, the list "a,b,c,,,d" has four elements.
