Posted on 2016-07-22
Hi I have the following list
I want to create the seperate lists for both, now tthere is a small catch. the July-2016 and March-2016 will be dynamic values i mean they can from jan or feb or 2015 so a single can contain multiple month and years combination.
i want them to be created as seperate lists so i can use them
how can i do, i tried few of the functions like listvenn or listcompare, none seems to matching what i am trying to do here from cflib

You want to create two lists based on the value of the month-year?
First, loop through the file paths and pull out the fourth value which is the month/year
Create a structure whose elements are those dates, then add the file path to that structure.

<cfset newList = structNew()>
<cfloop index="aPath" list="#string#" delimiters=" ">
<cfset theDate = listGetAt(aPath,4,"\/")>
<cfif NOT structKeyExists(newList,theDate)>
<cfset newList[theDate] = thePath>
<cfelse> <!---- key already exists ---->
<cfset newList[theDate] = listAppend(newList[theDate],thePath," ")>
</cfif>
</cfloop>

the string is the list of paths you have.
ThePath is a type o, it is the same variable in the index
