ListContains
ListContains(list, substring [, delimiters])Returns the index of the first element in the list that contains the
specified substring as part of the element. If the substring
isn’t found, 0 is returned. The search is
case-sensitive. An optional delimiter can be specified if the list is
delimited with a character other than the comma (the default).
Here’s an example that returns the index of the
first element in a list that contains wed:
<cfset MyList = "Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday,Sunday"> <cfset TheSubstring = "wed"> <cfset TheIndex = ListContains(MyList, TheSubstring)> <cfoutput> <b>List:</b> #MyList# <p><cfif TheIndex is 0> The substring (#TheSubstring#) could not be found in the list! <cfelse> The substring (#TheSubstring#) was found in element #TheIndex# (#ListGetAt(MyList, TheIndex)#). </cfif> </cfoutput>
