The following is a call against
mystring2
:
<cfoutput>
GetToken(mystring2, 2) is : #GetToken(mystring2, 2)#
</cfoutput>
The output is as follows:
GetToken(mystring2, 2) is : ,five,nine,zero:;
The function finds the second delimiter, and returns the substring just before it that is between
the first and second delimiter. This substring is "
,five,nine,zero:;
".
Example
<h3>GetToken Example</h3>
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.yourString")>
<!--- set delimiter --->

<!--- check whether number of elements in list is greater than or
equal to the element sought to return --->
<cfif ListLen(FORM.yourString, yourDelimiter) GTE FORM.returnElement>
<cfoutput>
<p>Element #FORM.ReturnElement# in #FORM.yourString#,
