Simple List Question

Probably been covered before... How do I take a word like, "apple" and loop through each letter? I'd like to end up with "a.p.p.l.e". Thanks, Che

Thanks Richard... It was the len(string) statement that I was forgetting. >Probably been covered before... >How do I take a word like, "apple" and loop through each letter?

>>How do I take a word like, "apple" and loop through each letter? Try this: <CFSET word = "apple"> <CFLOOP INDEX="c" FROM="1" TO="#len(word)#">   <CFSET currentChar = mid(word,c,1)>   <CFOUTPUT>currentChar = #currentChar#<BR></CFOUTPUT> </CFLOOP> -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!

You can't treat a word as a list of letters, because there's no delimiter. Use something like: <cfset s = "apple"> <cfset t = ""> <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#len(s)#"> <cfset t &= mid(s, i, 1) & "."> </cfloop> <cfoutput>#t#</cfoutput> > Probably been covered before... > How do I take a word like, "apple" and loop through each letter?
