Let's loop through a list using <cfloop> and then compare it to looping through it using <cfscript>:
1. First, create a file named
looplist.cfmin the<Railo Installation Directory>/webroot/Chapter_6folder and create a list by adding the following code:<cfset myList = "Item One,Item Two,Item Three">
2. Now, let's loop through the list using
<cfloop>by appending the following code:<cfloop list="#myList#" index="i"> <cfoutput>#i#<br></cfoutput> </cfloop>
3. This prints out the following output, as expected:
Item One Item Two Item Three4. Let's replace the
<cfloop>with the following lines of code:<cfscript> for(i = 1; i <= ListLen(myList); i+){ WriteOutput(ListGetAt(myList, i) & "<br>"); } </cfscript>5. We get the same output, but of course, we seem to be doing it rather differently.
