listtoarray and ampersand

[LongHorn]

I have an array and want to put the elements into variables.
One of the elements has the ampersand in it. Thus causing all the elements after it to be unassigned/undefined.


<cfset attributes.contact_id = #attributes.projectarray[1]#>
<cfset attributes.contact_name = #trim(attributes.projectarray[2])#>
<cfset attributes.addr_id = #attributes.projectarray[3]#>
<cfset attributes.address = #attributes.projectarray[4]#>
<cfset attributes.site_id = #attributes.projectarray[5]#>
<cfset attributes.account = #attributes.projectarray[6]#>
<cfset attributes.permit_num = #attributes.projectarray[7]#>

If the address (element 4) has the & in it, attributes site_id, account and permit_num are undefined because the system thinks that the array has only 4 elements and not 7.

Does anyone know why?

Thanks.

Can you give a little more detail? I've tried the example above with my own variables, and can't generate a shorter array using a &quot;&&quot;.

How is projectarray generated? Is it pased via cfmodule, custom tag, or some other way? Does the address value come from a form or database or something else?

etc... - tleish

Thank you, tleish.
Your reply gave me the clue as to where the error lies. The entire array was passed as an URL variable and I didn't have it URLEncodedFormatted.
