cfscript for in vs cfloop collection

"for-in loop: for (variable in collection) statement ; Note that variable can be any ColdFusion identifier, and collection must be the name of an existing ColdFusion structure. for (x in mystruct) mystruct[x]=0;" http://www.macromedia.com/v1/cfdocs/Advanced_ColdFusion_Development/08_Using _CFML_Scripting/adv08_2.htm Although I can do what you suggest, I'd prefer not to in this case. It's really looking like for-in loops are limited to CF structures only unlike cfloop. Anyone know for sure? jon > Yep... the for loop expects a counter (for (i = 1; i le Len(somevar); i = i > + 1) ) There is no "in" key word for it.  sorry.  You will have to determine > the number of childnodes in /trackresponse/activity and use that as your > counter. > > mark > > Perhaps someone else can see what I am doing wrong here (cf5).
