Parameters

Parameter | Description
list | A list or a variable that contains one.
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
If the list begins with one or more empty entries, this function drops them, as well as the first element.
ColdFusion ignores empty list elements; thus, the list "a,b,c,,,d" has four elements.

    <cfoutput>#ValueList(GetMessageUser.Username)#</cfoutput>.
    <p>(Users who posted more than once are listed more than once.)
    <p>The first user in the list is:
    <cfoutput>#ListFirst(temp)# </cfoutput>
    <p>The rest of the list is:&nbsp;<cfoutput>#ListRest(temp)#</cfoutput>.
