Split String By specific character in cfscript

[Shraddha_Prajapati]

Hi I want to split string(7<>2,,3<>6<>0.6) by specific character(<>) and store it in array...like c# code :

//whwre dataList=7<>2,,3<>6<>0.6

string[] wordsStrings = Regex.Split(dataList, "<>");

You want to use ColdFusion's ListToArray function.  Treat the <> as a list delimiter.  The important part here is setting the last argument to true, for the multiCharacterDelimiter argument.

dataList = "7<>2,,3<>6<>0.6";    

wordsStrings = listToArray(dataList, "<>", false, true);

That is a bit confusing. Do you mean this:

String[] wordsStrings = dataList.split("<>")

or, its equivalent,

regex = "<>";

String[] wordsStrings = dataList.split(regex);

If so, you already have one solution, Duncancumming's. Another is:

<cfscript>

dataList = createobject("java","java.lang.String").init("7<>2,,3<>6<>0.6");

wordsStrings = dataList.split("<>");

</cfscript>

<cfdump var="#wordsStrings#">

<cfscript>

dataList = createobject("java","java.lang.String").init("7<>2,,3<>6<>0.6");

wordsStrings = dataList.split("<>");

</cfscript>

<cfdump var="#wordsStrings#">

Its also correct answer....
