List functions

ListContainsNoCase(list, substring [, delimiters ])

ListContains, ListFindNoCase; "Lists" in Chapter 3, "Using ColdFusion Variables," in ColdFusion MX Developer's Guide

ColdFusion ignores empty list elements; thus, the list "a,b,c,,,d" has four elements.

<h3>ListContainsNoCase Example</h3>
<cfif IsDefined("form.letter")>
   <!--- First, query to get some values for our list --->
   <cfquery name="GetParkInfo" datasource="cfdocexamples">
      SELECT PARKNAME,CITY,STATE
      FROM Parks
      WHERE PARKNAME LIKE '#form.letter#%'
   </cfquery>
   <cfset tempList = #ValueList(GetParkInfo.City)#>
   <cfif ListContainsNoCase(tempList, form.yourCity) is not 0>
      There are parks in your city!
   <cfelse>
      <p>Sorry, there were no parks found for your city.
      Try searching under a different letter.
   </cfif>
</cfif>
