Hi,

I need to convert form fields (strings) into tokens. Is there any function in coldfusion to do that? thanks

Ron,

Click on the documentation links that Adam posted.

Read about lists.

Treat your string as a space-delimited list.

Kronin - Here is the problem...I had already read about the lists, but the thing is that the string..is just not with spaces, its a form and a user can enter any delimiters they want. I cannot just specify one delimiter and convert into tokens. that's the issue

Use java, then you can break the words with regex:-

I could probably figure it out if I knew what a token is.

Hi Don - Basically..if there is any string 'This is a test, this is a test', sepearting out each word would turn into a token.

For ex: this
is
a
test

thanks!

You want all the distinct words in the string separated by two carraige returns? If the string was "this is a test but that is not a test", what would your token be?
