Fun With Lists

[imstillatwork]

I need to compare two lists, except the LAST item in each list should be ignored.


So 1_4_19_29

and 1_4_19_31

would be 1_4_19

Any Ideas??

Thanks!

Where are the two lists coming from? A bit more of information might help.

are you looking for code to ignore the last item, or code to compare two lists item by item? what if one is longer than the other?

funny, the technique i was thinking of was just posted on that other thread --

<cfset x = listDeleteAt(myList,listLen(mylist,"_"),"_")>

If you don't ask the right questions, you don't get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the ABC of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems.
