Looping and Lists 1

[ryan]

ok ... here's my problem. I can't seem how to create a list of strings in asp and then loop through them. In ColdFusion it's pretty simple you define your list:

<cfset teststring=&quot;1,2,3,4,5&quot;>

and then you can loop through it via this:

<cfloop index=&quot;currentnum&quot; list=&quot;teststring&quot; delimiter=&quot;,&quot;>
my current number is #currennum#
</cfloop>

HOW DO I DO THIS IN ASP ... ARG THIS IS KILLING ME. THANKS GUYS!

Well now it's all pretty simple when you know how to do it then isn't it? Developing web pages isn't exactly &quot;rocket surgery&quot;.

<%
var myStrings = new Array(&quot;1&quot;,&quot;2&quot;,&quot;3&quot;,&quot;4&quot;
for(j=0; j<myStrings.length; j++)
Response.Write(&quot;my current number is &quot; + myStrings[j] + &quot;<br>&quot;

// now that was fun... lets do it again
var myStr = &quot;1,2,3,4&quot;;
myStrings = myStr.split(&quot;,&quot;

for(j=0; j<myStrings.length; j++){
%>
my current number is <%=myStrings[j]%><br>
<%} %>

To people with language backgrounds like C/C++ and Java that would be much more readable than the Cold Confusion equivalent.

&quot;But, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong&quot;.

Oops I responded too soon. How can I do this in ASP. I need to take a string not an array and then split it up. How?

Nevermind I figured it out by doing split(expression,delimiter)
