Parameters

Parameter

Description

list

A list or a variable that contains one.

value

An element or a list of elements.

delimiters

A string or a variable that contains one. Characters that separate list elements. The default value is comma. If this parameter contains more than one character, ColdFusion only uses the first character and ignores the others.

includeEmptyFields

Boolean to determine to include empty fields from the list that is prepended to the list.

Usage

When prepending an element to a list, ColdFusion inserts a delimiter. If delimiters_ contains more_ than one delimiter character, ColdFusion uses the first delimiter in the string; if delimiters is omitted, ColdFusion uses a comma.ColdFusion ignores empty list elements; thus, the list "a,b,c,,,d" has four elements.If the delimiters parameter is the empty string (""), ColdFusion returns the contents of the value parameter.
