CFLOOP

[stroll]

Hi,

I am trying to use cfloop to iterate through the characters of a string one at a time. I would like to start at the first character and go to the last character in the string.

I used "Len(string)" to get the length of the string, and placed that expression after TO =. When I run it, it states that it cannot convert Len("string&quot to a number.
Doesn't Len return a number?

Thanks

Len does return a number... you may want to check your use of (",') or maybe the "string" wasn't set yet?

using a combination of len() and mid() you could loop through a string of charachters. I am guessing that the task you are performing may be better suited to use of "regular expressions" but... here is a "string" loop.


<cfset String = 'A simple string value!'>

<cfloop from=&quot;1&quot; to=&quot;#len(string)#&quot; index=&quot;ThisChar&quot;>
<cfoutput>#Mid(string,ThisChar,1)#</cfoutput><br>
</cfloop>
