Parse brackets in the URL string

Hi,

I was trying to figure out how to parse brackets in the URL string. I have a javascript program that serializes my data and passes the following URL string to my coldfusion page

http://hsecfs1/developmentdmz/mctr/sortAjax.cfm?item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3

Unfortunatley, I can't figure out how to pull the data.

<cfoutput>#url.item[]#</cfoutput> doesn't seem to work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry the cfloop was not closed correct:

<cfoutput>#url.item#</cfoutput>

<cfloop list="#url.item#" index="i">


<cfoutput>#i#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

No, I cannot remove the brackets (or I haven't figured out how to do it yet).

CFDUMP shows me a struct with the following contents:

ITEM[] 1,2,3

Awesome, <cfset theValue = url["item[]"]> seems to work.
It gives me the values in a comma separated list.

perfect, glad it works

now you can loop over the list like i told you....

<cfset theValue = url["item[]"]>

<cfloop list="#theValue#" index="i">


<cfoutput>#i#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
