Everyone should be dead already then. Haha! JK!

Unfortunately, if you use the new syntax for CF, the empty elements are not ignored when looping over the list.

<cfset a = {2,,4,5} />
<cfloop array=”#a” index=”anElement”>
#anElement#
<cfloop>

This will break

I tried this today on my box and got different results and can not figure our why. I used both the new listToArray in CF8 and the list2Array function from one of your previous post. The problem is that my delimiter is “,” (all three are the total delimiter). The list2array returns the correct amount of elements but CF8’s listToArray returns 24 elements when there should only be 8. Below is the code I tested.

<cfscript>
// Empty List Function
function list2Array(list)
{
var i = 0;
var retlist = ArrayNew(1);
var arr = list.split(’”,”‘,-1);
for(i = 1; i < = ArrayLen(arr); i++)
ArrayAppend(retList,arr[i]);
return retList;
}
theList=’”one”,”two”,”three”,”",”four”,”",”",”seven”‘;
theArray1=listToArray(theList,’”,”‘,true);
theArray2=list2Array(theList);
</cfscript>
<cfdump var=”#theArray1#” />
<cfdump var=”#theArray2#” />
