Hi. I use the following listAppend:
<cfset variables.datestr = ListAppend( variables.datestr, variables.newDate, ', ' & CHR(32) )>
I use the CHR(32) to create a space after the comma in the output but for some reason is it not working. Does anybody has an idea why this isn’t working?
Maybe I’m stupid but I have take the CHR(32) away but still don’t get a space. Can you please tel how to create a space Rudy using listAppend?
from the cfdocs:[indent]ListAppend(list, value [, delimiters ])
delimiters –
A string or a variable that contains one. Character(s) that separate list elements. The default value is comma.
If this parameter contains more than one character, ColdFusion uses only the first character.[/indent]
answers your question?
i don’t think you can do what you’re after with ListAppend
try a loop where you simple concatenate each list element onto the end of a string variable
Hi Rudy I lost the plot a bit. How do you mean?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Rudy. Is it not possible to set the date_format in the query and then use the value in a valueList? Because in a valueList you have the option to create a space after the comma?

i lost the plot a bit – what query?
This is the complete query to output the activity:
SELECT
CL.category_id
, C.language_abbr
, C.category_name
, CH.photo
, AL.activity_id
, AL.activity_persons
, AL.activity_price
, A.language_abbr
, A.activity_name
, A.activity_title
, A.activity_description
, AD.activity_date
, TL.team_leader_id
, TL.team_leader_name_eng
, TL.team_leader_name_gre
, TL.team_leader_description_eng
, TL.team_leader_description_gre
, TLP.photo AS tl_photo
FROM
category_list CL
INNER
JOIN categories C
ON CL.category_id = C.category_id
AND C.language_abbr = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_char" value="#Trim( Session.language )#" />
INNER
JOIN category_headers CH
ON CL.category_id = CH.category_id
INNER
JOIN activity_list AL
ON CL.category_id = AL.category_id
INNER
JOIN activities A
ON AL.activity_id = A.activity_id
AND A.language_abbr = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_char" value="#Trim( Session.language )#" />
INNER
JOIN activity_dates AD
ON AL.activity_id = AD.activity_id
LEFT
JOIN team_leader_activities TLA
ON AL.activity_id = TLA.activity_id
LEFT
JOIN team_leaders TL
ON TLA.team_leader_id = TL.team_leader_id
LEFT
JOIN team_leader_photos TLP
ON TL.team_leader_id = TLP.team_leader_id
WHERE
AL.activity_id = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#Trim( Url.activity )#" />
The dates are coming from the table activity_dates. And I would like to have my output like this:
09/09, 10/09, 15/09, 20/09
Thank you in advance foar looking at it
Hi Rudy, that was indeed the way to go.
This is how I solved it:
DATE_FORMAT( activity_date, '%d/%m') AS newDate
and than after the query
<cfset dateList = valueList ( getDetails.newDate, ", " )>
and it is working great. Thanks for the input.
I don’t think you can have spaces in a list. You should try using Arrays instead.
you think arrays will allow spaces?? (:
Yes, it works. Try this code:
[FONT=Courier New]<cfset a = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset a[1] = “1”>
<cfset a[2] = " ">
<cfset a[3] = “a”>
<ul>
<cfloop from=“1” to=“#ArrayLen(a)#” index=“i”>
<cfoutput><li>|#a[i]#| - #ASC(a[i])#</li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>[/FONT]
The valuelist as described above gave me the desired result.
