ListDeleteAt, ListGetAt, ListInsertAt
History
ColdFusion MX: Changed delimiter modification: ColdFusion MX does not modify delimiters in the list. (In earlier releases, in some cases, replaced delimiters with the first character in the delimiters parameter.)
Parameters

Parameter | Description
list | A list or a variable that contains one.
position | A positive integer or a variable that contains one. Position at which to set a value.The first list position is 1.
value | An element or a list of elements.
delimiters | A string or a variable that contains one. Character(s) that separate list elements.
| Default: comma.
| If this parameter contains more than one character, ColdFusion processes each
| occurrence of each character as a delimiter.

Usage
When assigning an element to a list, ColdFusion inserts a delimiter. If delimiters contains more than one delimiter, ColdFusion uses the first delimiter in the string, or, if delimiters was omitted, a comma.
ColdFusion ignores empty list elements; thus, the list "a,b,c,,,d" has four elements.

Example

    <h3>ListSetAt Example</h3>
    <!--- Find a list of users who wrote messages --->
    <cfquery name = "GetMessageUser" datasource = "cfsnippets">
    SELECT Username, Subject, Posted
    FROM  Messages
    </cfquery>

    <cfset temp = ValueList(GetMessageUser.Subject)>

    <!--- loop through the list and show it with ListGetAt --->
    <h3>This is a list of <cfoutput>#ListLen(temp)#</cfoutput>
    subjects posted in messages.</h3>

    <cfset ChangedElement = ListGetAt(temp, 2)>
    <cfset TempToo = ListSetAt(temp, 2, "I changed this subject", ",")>
    <ul>
    <cfloop From = "1" To = "#ListLen(temptoo)#" INDEX = "Counter">
       <cfoutput><li>(#Counter#) SUBJECT: #ListGetAt(temptoo, Counter)#
       </cfoutput>
    </cfloop>
    </ul>
    <p>Note that element 2, "<cfoutput>#changedElement#</cfoutput>",
    has been altered to "I changed this subject" using ListSetAt.
