Example

    <!--- This view-only example shows the use of StructFind. --->
    <p>This file is identical to addemployee.cfm, which is called by StructNew,
    StructClear, and StructDelete. It adds employees. Employee information
    is passed through the employee structure (EMPINFO attribute). In UNIX,
    you must also add the Emp_ID.
    <!---
    <cfswitch expression = "#ThisTag.ExecutionMode#">
      <cfcase value = "start">
       <cfif StructIsEmpty(attributes.EMPINFO)>
        <cfoutput>Error. No employee data was passed.</cfoutput>
         <cfexit method = "ExitTag">
       <cfelse>
         <cfquery name = "AddEmployee" datasource = "cfsnippets">
         INSERT INTO Employees (FirstName, LastName, Email, Phone, Department)
          VALUES
           <cfoutput>
            (
             `#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "firstname")#' ,
             `#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "lastname")#' ,
             `#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "email")#' ,
             `#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "phone")#' ,
             `#StructFind(attributes.EMPINFO, "department")#' )
