List delimiter problem.

[cossiboon]

This is probably an easy question.
I am populating a list from an array using the arraytolist function. Then I go ahead and display the list using the cfloop tag. My delimiter is ~N~. When the items are displayed, I lose the first character if the first character of the item is in the delimiter.

My question: Is the delimiter limited to only one character for effective use?
I would rather use a delimiter longer than one character.

My code is attached.

Thanks for any help.



<cfset lstChoices = arraytolist(session.choices[session.currentquestionnumber],&quot;~N~&quot>
<cfloop list=&quot;#lstChoices#&quot; index=&quot;indChoices&quot;>


#indChoices#

</CFLOOP>

If you don't specify a Deliminater when working with lists it uses the default of &quot;,&quot;.

<CFSET lstChoices = ArryToList(SESSION.choices

[

SESSION.currentquestionnumber

]

,&quot;~N~&quot;)>
<CFLOOP LIST=&quot;#VARIABLES.lstChoices#&quot; INDEX=&quot;indChoices&quot; DELIMITERS=&quot;~N~&quot;>
#indChoices#
</CFLOOP> - tleish

Yes I relize that I do not have the delimiter specified in the previous post. Gauranteed, it's in my code. But Thanks.

Sorry. I tested the code with the deliminators... it seemed to work fine for me. It didn't remove any part of the string. Could you post a little more of you're code... perhaps examples of what is in the array you are referencing. - tleish

I tested it on 4.5 and it worked too. Would it be easier to loop through the array and not set it to a list at all? Don't know if that's possible with your application.
