cfdump related!

[cfdeveloper]

Hello everybody,

I want to re-arrange everything dumped out by cfdump and comma separate all the elements of the cfdump structure.

<cfdump var="#url#">

I want to take the results returned by the above cfdump structure and comma separate each element. I want to insert all the comma separated elements into a db column.

Ex:

struct

FirstName Joe
LastName Bloggs
Phone 35345
Building CA

Change this into:

FirstName: Joe, LastName: Bloggs, Phone: 35345, Building: CA

Can somebody please show me how to do this?

Best regards,
cfcoder

All CFDUMP does is to basically loop over the structures in CF. URL, Form, Cookie, CGI, Session etc scopes are all stored as structures internally, meaning that you can use a CFLOOP to loop over them using the COLLECTION attribute of CFLOOP. Like this:

<CFLOOP COLLECTION="#URL#" ITEM="i">
<CFOUTPUT>
#i#:#URL#,
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFLOOP>

Hope this helps!

thanks Tony, you're right, url scope is stored as structures. I figured out how to do this.

<cfset elementsList = "">
<cfloop collection="#url#" item="urlVar">
<cfset elementsList = ListAppend(elementsList, "#urlVar#:#url[urlVar]#", ",")>
</cfloop>

<cfoutput>#elementsList#</cfoutput>
Cheers
