Help with number to array

[hello1974]

I would like to take a number such as "12345" and turn it into a list or array such as "1,2,3,4,5". I am using this for my hit counter. I am able to return the value out of a database but would like each individual number to correspond to an image file.

PLEASE HELP

Does it have to be an array?

You can easily loop around the length of the string, and then extract that character for your number file.

<cfloop from="1" to="#Len('12345')#" index="i">

     <cfset numInFocus = Mid('12345', i, 1)>

     ... process loading image ... 

</cfloop>

Thanx. That worked perfect. Using this forum was alot faster than searching around on GOOGLE.

I thought I heard once that one can create a character array by using a list function with no delimiter.

<cfset charArray = listToArray("12345","")>
<cfdump var="#charArray#">

Untested, but may be worth a try.

<cfset charArray = listToArray("12345","")>

Hi Ian

That doesn't work on CF8, but it perhaps works on CF9 (I don't have a CF9 box here).

However this does work on CF8:

<cfset charArray = listToArray(reReplace("12345","(.)", "\1,", "ALL"))>

That said, the posting above marked as "the answer" is as good as any.

Haha. Sneaky.

Yep. I would have to double check it, but ... I believe that works in CF9 only.
