ColdFusion Structure

[BenAmy]

How to search the following structure of arrays for a user-provided string and
return the key and array position of the match, if any.



<cfscript>

teams = StructNew();

teams.basketball =
ListToArray("Heat,Jazz,Lakers,Celtics,Spurs,Piston s,Pacers,Bulls,Nets,Knicks",
",") teams.football =
ListToArray("Giants,Colts,Bengals,Bears,Dolphins,F alcons,Buccaneers,49ers,Bronco
s,Rams", ","); teams.baseball = ListToArray("Reds,Braves,Cardinals,Cubs,White
Sox,Red Sox,Yankees,Mets,Mariners,Diamondbacks", ","); teams.hockey =
ListToArray("Red Wings,Blackhawks,Avalanche,Blues,Thrashers,Lightni ng,Maple
Leafs", ","); </cfscript>

Please help me in this regard

Thanks
Amy

<cfset sought="Celtics">
<cfloop collection="#teams#" item="itm">
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(teams[itm])#" index="idx">
<cfif sought eq #teams[itm][idx]#>
<cfset myIndex = idx>
<cfset myStrVal = itm>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfloop>

i tired to post this a second ago. hmm. anyway, should help. another thought
is to stick with an embedded structure and use the StructFind() function for
the whole thing. (but watch for dupes with this method)

ps: you're missing a ; in your script
